Using that as your boost source could be a problem......

Change it like that these guys are saying.

[zebra]

My Soarer has one of those things...for what i can tell it firms up the steering at larger throttle openings (boost)

[pipster11]

yeah it does some crazy stuff and should probably be left alone

i've head ppl also say that you should take a boost source after the cooler and even from the manifold, i guess to counter the boost drop across the piping and cooler core

[lilcrash]

That explains my torque steer feeling under heavy acceleration

I wouldn't. What happens when you do for some reason get a massive pressure drop across the system? Most people (with a Hypergear turbo at least) will use an actuator that is rated close to their turbo's maximum efficiency. But if your turbo is efficient to 20psi and you have an actuator that is rated to 20psi hooked up to the manifold, and you get a 5psi pressure drop, then all of a sudden your turbo will be trying to push 25psi, which could lead to super-heating of the intake charge or outright turbo failure.

I would have the nipple as close to the turbo outlet as possible. Then at least if you get a pressure drop, you're just going to lose a bit of power and you will notice and get it sorted out.

There are lots of fors and againsts.

Some people claim it using manifold causes boost spikes as you run a longer actuator line as well as a longer pressure source etc etc.

I used to run my old TD07S off the manifold, never had boost spike issues, and I actually had a reason... I had no BOV, there fore I wanted my pressure source to my wastegate in vacuum during gear shifts rather then seeing the huge pressure in the cooler pipes. This forced the wastegate shut whilst shifting, and made the car come back on boost hard again...

But on a nice little street setup, I'd have the pressure source as close to the turbo as possible.

Ok now I can smell oil through my air con, anyone ever had this, I can't find a leak but yeah kinda weird.

[chocco]

Just put an air freshner in there and your set.

OK, pretty simple mate.

Your AC picks up fresh air from the skuttle panel (where the wipers are), anything that comes out of your bonnet would get sucked into there while your driving.

If your PVC is rooted and letting boost into the sump then you are probably pushing fumes or oil out of the dip stick. Furthermore if you have done a half job of your oil breather system (noting you dont have it running to your intake pipe anymore) it would also be doing the same thing. Otherwise if you have a little airfilter on the end of your rocker breathers it could be that too.

[lilcrash]

Yeah I thought that, it only really happens when I brake. One day was a really bad fuel smell the next it was oil, that's what had me poking around and I can't find anything. Guessing it's just another quirk.

[lilcrash]

Ok I found my oil smell. All it took was for my engine to catch fire

[The Mafia]

Ummm, please explain?

[chocco]

Reading through all this and the other crap that youve posted all points to one thing

You shouldnt be around cars cause by the information or lack of you do give us you dont even

know wat the f**k your talkin about.

"DAMN I GOT NEW TYRES AND NOW MY GARAGE SMELLS LIKE NEW TYRES"

I mean your persistant ill give you that but seriously do you even know wat the f**k your on

about?

By the sound of it all just sell the car and buy a push bike...

We can then see threads of "How do I lube my chain" or "Im stuck in 15th gear HALP ME"

[lilcrash]

For some unknown reason this morning my tappet cover breather spewed oil all over my turbo/exhaust and it lit up.

[SargeRX8]

Hahaha

[75coupe]

yep sorry but this is getting funny now....

Why are you not just taking your car to a decent mechanic/tuner, really these issues your having don't sound that hard to fix really....

[chocco]

He will prolly blame the tuner for not having a clean smelling car soon cause of this oil/fuel

vapour thats leaking out...

"YOUR TUNE IS SHIT, MY CAR IS STINKY NOW I DONT LIKE YOU!"

Really reminds of of all the halfwits at work that find the old point and blame game alot easier

then just saying "Yes I f**ked it by doin blah blah blah"

Just sell the f**kin thing and rid yourself from this site...You remind me of a smarter version

of La Bomba.

[lilcrash]

Chocco you never cease to amaze me with your completely useless posts. For some reason you feel that people aren't allowed to learn about the causes and fixes for their mechanical problems.

For those interested it appears some of the oil drains in the head were blocked.

[Crans]

Come on leave the poor guy alone, he is trying to learn.

lilcrash all I can suggest is if someone offers some advise that sounds reasonable then follow it and give some feedback/results <- Which you have actually been doing, apart form the odd delay.

Keep cracking on you will sort it out sooner or later.

[lilcrash]

alot of the delays in testing is because i get stuck into working on my wifes car and forget about my own problems. her car is still running perfectly without an afm and it runs like shit when i plug it in. im very confused how thats possible but yer.
