someone help me fix my car please :(

[dAVE]

Well,

Havent been driving lately, but yesterday, i took her out and something weird was happening....

now, my boost normally hits 8 psi up till 4500 rpm then steps up to 11psi.

yesterday, it wasnt stepping up at all in any gear, and sometimes it would only hit 7psi, then sometimes 9psi etc. first gear felt alright apart from the lack of boost, but all other gears felt really really flat.. like a big dead spot.

i also noticed my BOV isnt fluttering anymore and sound has changed a bit ...

all hoses / pipes seem to be on OK... anyone can help??

cheers,

dave..

thanks.. im desperate.. really need my car tomoz!

I assume you have some sort of boost controller...check all connections to that power etc....Also what type of bov do you have??

[dAVE]

no boost controller... hks old type super sound i think its called...

also, sound like the sucking noise from pod is a lot louder :S

[Guest RedLineGTR]

Come On Peoples Any one Have an Idea??

dave - you say sucking noise is louder, i rekon this is actually the bov leaking. pull it apart and check the piston and spring, or just throw another one on. so yeah - i rekon its the bov leaking above about 9psi from what youre describing.

ross, that was a thought.. but revving engine with no load, and having hand over BOV and looking, it doesnt seem to be... hmm, i might block boost solenoid, cos when i do that it sits at a constant 8psi.. see what it feels like then.
