ORIGINAL: Mott Power

thought so, the valve cover gasket is known to leak oil onto the manifold on S4's

Samco TBB
Don't forget about the DV's!

OK, got some good and bad news to report. I took it to the dealer Friday to have them inspect the timing belt and it hadn't been done in 111,000 miles. It had cracks so I went ahead and left the car for them to perform the maintenance along with new valve cover gaskets and cam adjuster seals. On the bright side, the loaner car was a G35.

I was hoping they miraculously fixed my boost problem, but no beans. When I got home tonight, I put on my new TBB that came in the mail after about a2 minute warm up I was boosting a steady 10psi. I'm very happy, but of course that means no chip right? I pulled the ECU and is isn't chipped. The previous owner must have swapped it out before he sold it. Although I do have aftermarket DVs so I'm ready for the chip.
