Hey Everyone,

The other day I took my car to get it inspection stickers to see if it would pass. It turned out that it didn't pass. I need a new O2 Sensor and a cat. Right now I'm just running the BIC test pipe, 3" all the way back. When I got it back, I had no boost at all. I can hear the turbo winding, but there is no boost. I heard of a tool that can track a boost leak on an engine. Is this true? Beacaue that is A LOT of hoses and pipes to check for boost leaks!!
Has anyone ran into this problem? Someone told me that it could be the wastegate. Where is the stock wastegate on the 1jz?

Thanks in advanced!!!

check to make sure all your IC pipes are tight and/or connected.

the way to check your pipes are to get caps to put on each end one with an air hose fitting on one. put 20 psi of pressure in the piping and check for leaks. thats how we did it with metal welded pipes, not sure for stock piping,

and you don't want to know where and how to get to your wastegates. will be a LOT of work to check them. i'm 110% sure it aint your wastegates
