Duct tape it

 

[A-to-the-J]

or rub in some 'tussin.

time for a silicone coupler.

 

[BorHor]

JB weld and some duct tape on top should work.

 

[TurboFreak]

That happened on my old turbo MK3. It took me forever to find that...

Those things always break.

Mine looked like this:

 

[burtonripply]

boost leaks ftw. they are like permanent BOV's. SOOO JDM!!!!

 

[KicknAsphlt]

I swear to God guys, my car when I got above 4500 sounded like a '03/04 Cobra...LMAO!

 

[sleepy8602]

gaping hole .

 

[Ish]

If that one's broken I could imagine what the bottom one on the turbo looks like. :aigo:

 

[thesupragod]

Same thing happened to me at the track. All i had was duct tape, and it worked! made 1 more pass before i left the track, 1.6 sec 60 ft. aint bad for duct tape!

I had a drunk friend rip mine by accident :x electrical tape will not fix it, haha. I bought a silicone coupler the next day, just needed something to try and get the car running that night haha.

I remember when I had no idea how turbo's worked or what boost leaks were... I found the same one melted like yours.

I had gotten so used to how slow it became, thinking "I blew my turbo"... to "OMG this car is so fast!"

:rofl: @ ignorance.

 

[KicknAsphlt]

LMAO! That's funny Brent. Anyone know off-hand what size that coupler is? Decided to change my plugs while I was down that far retorquing the head (BTW, I was shocked to find that they actually used ARP bolts on the thing...). Old plugs were HAMMERED! I'll post pics in a bit...

 

[ilikebigbutts]

haha taht was the first boost leak i found and elctrical tape fixed it for a few pulls that was the first time i heard the bov in this car when i fixed the big ass boost leak.

 

[KicknAsphlt]

Alright, as promised...here are pics of my plugs. Any experts on plug reading, feel free to chime in on thoughts.

All plugs as a group - right to left is cylinder 1-6 in order.

Plug 1:

Plug 2:

Plug 3:

Plug 4:

Plug 5:

Plug 6:

Put fresh plugs and wires in for now, just some Autolite 3923s gapped at .029 and some NGK wires.

not using the camera's macro setting by any chance, are you?

 

[Piratetip]

Running Rich?
Are you getting any detonation? Those white specks are suspect.
