Charge pipe leaking

oguzhansaka · 12-08-2016, 11:53 PM

My 335is was giving me code and I did smoke test and found out my Charge pipe is leaking, It was a perfect time to get new one cuz it was BlackFriday and I bough Charge pipe with bow from Mike N54tuning.com but haven’t received my charge pipe more than two weeks now, IS IT OKAY TO DRIVE WITH LEAKING ?? Just don't want to have any other issue with n54!

It's ok to drive it with boost leak. I've driven with small leaks medium leaks and severe leak/zeroboost before. The ECU will adjust everything else to compensate.

Just stay out of boost.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't a boost leak cause the turbos to work harder and spool faster to try and compensate for the low boost? Thus overworking and straining the turbos and decreasing the lifespan of them.

Just stay out of boost, give the turbos little work to do.

Stay off boost, otherwise your putting excess wear on your turbos.
