Default Re: Boost leak

neither do I feel it too. I've just redone the clamps again and a little tighter too. It held up well with me and three kids and many acceleration runs with a heavier foot each time till I were at 3/4 pedal. It'll do for now till I get a replacement. At least the vehicle is still usable atm.


On a good note I have finally squared away the Intake Manifold Gasket and it's as new. No leaks no whistling/moaning sounds, lovely. The Orings and seals were green this time and there's a big difference in height on clamping it down I'm happy with the result and it didn't take long to get it off, clean, redress and reassemble.



About 2hrs inc. degreasing and cleaning more of the intake tract (engine side). Happy as Larry but want that charge pipe asap.
