Lost all Boost

Thekid33 · 06-01-2015, 01:58 PM

I installed the VTT2+ and inlets a few days ago. I'm in the process of getting them protuned but saturday night I noticed my car wasn't moving too quickly. I took a couple logs since then and it appears I'm not getting any boost. I have checked the FMIC/CP/TB piping. I lifted the car and it appears the inlets are still clamped. I know that vacuum leaks are prominent but would a leak cause 0 boost? Any idea where I should look next, thanks guys.

do you have a jb4?

No, I'm FBO with N20 sensor/stage 2 lpfp. I'm Cobb only. There are also no codes being thrown.

Yes, i had zero boost when the vacuum line to the wastegate actuator was loose.

Definitely a possibility. Happened to him once.

check your vacuum lines - especially the two running on top of the valve cover as those are prone to failure more often than the rest of them.

replace with 3.5mm ID high-temp silicone or comparable hose and have some vacuum Ts handy in case you snap one.

would doing smoke test help OP to find any leaks?
