ok bought new hose clamps retensioned everything and checked all the pipes... went for a drive was still running somewhat unwell everytime i got to about 4000-5000rpm the bovs would just go off even with my foot flat?? does this still point to a boostleak issue?

edit: just pulled off bov's and there is a difference between the 2... one is marginally stiffer than the other ?>

cheers chad will do tomorrow.. had enough for today.. just took it for a run with bov's off and pipes blocked... still running like a pig... guess ill have to look harder and check absolutely everything.. man this is pissing me off

ok here is where i am at... double checked all ic piping, removed and blocked bov's plus vacumes. checked nearly every other vacume hose... not popping asmuch but still feels gutless and its still struggling under boost... even thought bov's are removed it still lets off and makes a chatting noise even when im giving it throttle.. and no this sound isnt flutter its a slow chuw chow chew chow sound

**edit** just took an old sau member crimmo for a cruise and he said it sounds ignition relation.. injector duty was down around 25%.. he said i may have fried my plugs at mallala or my coilpacks are cooked... anyone got some coil packs i can borrow for a couple hours?

Mark, I've got 7 or so coil-packs lying around - not sure if they're all 100% good, I did replace them for a reason but you're welcome to borrow. As a side note - have you checked your vacuum/boost pipes that run to the wastegate cans? When I had my 32 GTR one of mine blocked up and caused the BOV(s) to flutter continuously under boost (and also caused over-boosting), wasn't exactly easy to diagnose though.

u could just be a life saver.... coil pack borrow would be amazing more than happy to exhange a 6 pack.

by vacume boost pipes?? you mean the vacume pipes that go to the actuators? they were replaced a few 1000 kms ago but ill check tomorrow when i check the plugs.. the symptoms your talking about sound soooo simialr to whats goin on with my baby atm

    • Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum. 
    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.
