i got my car back today and there is no boost something is leaking i had a intake and front mount installed along with a dv when u start to drive as soon as boost starts to build pressure the car falls on its face cause it just blows off or leaks out any help or ideas

 

yeah.... take apart your turbo system and look for leaks. Its the only way.

 

Check all your hoses, since they did the DV, intake, and intercooler and if you didn't have the problem before then it probablly one of the three if not all of them maybe. Did you do the work or have someone do it, if somone did the work take it back and tell them they didn't install it properly. If they messed with the intake then the turbo air inlet hose could be loose at the intake or the turbo. The intercooler could be any hose, the dv would only loose boost if it wasn't working properly or not clamped down good enough, but its brand new. Build a boost leak tester and do it yourself, i did it and found two minor leaks and gained 2lbs of boost that was being lost, if you want instructions on how to make it email me, or just look on AW.

 

Yeah you might just wanna take off the wheels too could be loosing boost there, joking.

Dude, if i messed with my intake, DV, and intercooler and didn't have a problem before then its probablly what was just installed. We gotta think outside of the box although were in it.

 

yea they want car back 2moro i just dont want it to sit there for 2 weeks untill they figure it out

 

trailboss, adding hp can cause a boost leak, doesnt matter if you touch it or not. The turbo system includes all hose to intake and intercooler like you said. We need to think outside the box.

 

I saw turbo system and thought the actual turbo the way you worded it.

Tell them you want it done by the end off the day or you want some of your money back, its not your fault they fucked up, you could always do it yourself but the only way to fix leaks is to find where they are at or readjust clamps and make sure hoses are all on and hope you fixed it. But a DIY boost leak tester will help you find leaks instantly.

 

car is still not right the shop couldnt find anything again they hooked up a boost gauge and they said the car is boostn at like 14pounds and that is y it keeps shutting off any ideas

 

are you chipped? If so by who? Id say your best bet is to build a boost leak tester and test your car for leaks. Is your DV installed correctly.

 

they said they checked everything but this is a body shop, the car was hit in front end. today i told them that im taking my car to dubwerks,my local audi shop they will find the problem . i have to be there at 9 am 2moro not chipped yet
