Lawless Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Having a slight problem since fitting the fimic can anyone advice me on what to do first of all it was under boosting and felt sluggish So I checked all the intercooler joiners were tight and had a decent length of pipe in them and noticed the studs on the turbo where the hotside pipe were not done up at all it ls almost like there's not enough thread to grab them ?But tightens them up as far as I could feels pretty solid and since then it's making some insane whistling noise and there's hardly any dump coming from the bov?

Lawless Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 I definitely have a leak can hear it all the time when on the throttle just can't pinpoint where it's comin from il try putting sealant round the hot pipe Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 it wont help having jublee clips id get mikalor clamps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lawless Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 The pipes seemed to be In good health only surface damage and the hoses nice and tight The only other thing I think is causing the leak is the studs seem to short and I can't get a decent amount of thread through the nut ?

bucketep91 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Sounds like a thermostat issue. Just replace it, cheap and easy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
