turbo question

[hvyman]

Waste gate should have tension and you shouldnt be able to move the flapper easily. Shouldnt be massive cracks that you can see through around the flapper.(down pipe side)

Can replace it seperatly than the turbo.

If you had a vacuum leak it would be idling like carp usually.

check the hose that goes to the stock bov and make sure it doesnt have a crack in it or that it hasnt came off

Tho that would cause a boost leak bov doesnt have anything to do with building boost. Only releasing it from the pipes when you let off.

Actually, if he's using a stock BPV, and it has failed, it will be open all the time. Open all the time means it's spilling quite a bit of compressed air back into the accordion hose, and it would build boost measurably slower.

so how do i know if the stock bov is no good?

Take it off and blow through it. IF air goes through its bad.
