Alright my set up has hit yet ANOTHER road block to finnaly getting boosted I was thinking today that the guy who is gonna be tuning my car is driving an awful long ways, and that I had yet to actualy find out if the car builds boost, So i went ahead and tightend up the wastegate and took the car out for a test run, figured to take it pretty easy sence I didnt want to boost to much, but i quicky realized that it wasnt gonna boost. I layed into the throttle a few times to make sure but still nothing. The car runs great, seems to be pulling pretty good, but that gauge isnt showing any boost and the wideband isnt showing any fuel readings to lead me to believe its flowing anymore then before. So i get home and pop the hood and check the charge pipes and everything is tight, untill i get to the radiator hose thats coming off off the compressor elbow. I fill in the considerable leak with some sillicone i had laying around and let it sit. Come back out and go for another test drive, same results. I pop the hood and rev the motor a bit and the only thing i can hear is a sligh hiss from the BOV area. Im really getting tired of all these problems lol if someone could help fix this issue id arpreciate it

 

dont fill in the leak with silicone from personal experience fix the problem, not just a temporary solution

 

not sure how much boost u'r planning on running but silicone will blow right out of there. Radiator hose isn't really a good solution, i mean it will work but u'r going to be better off just buying a quality elbow.

 

Compressor elbow? I'm lost...

 

I can help you:

most cars wont build boost just by sitting there and stepping on the accelerator. you actually need to drive the car. If its not boosting you either have a massive exhaust leak, or a massive charge pipe leak. even a small leak you should still be boosting a bit.

 

good stuff, found something similer to it on VFAQ.com and hopefully ill be able to get it all together and test tommorow

 

thats what im saying

 

i should say compressor outlet, its the factory pipe that comes off the 14b

The angle is diffent now sence the elbow was cut and rewelded differently and the lower charge pipe sits back a little bit further

 

ahhh pictures are worth a thousand words
