BLiTzd Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 we found out today why the car wasn't getting any boost. we ran a boost test with a smoke machine and im pouring smoke out of my stock tmic. if any of you know somebody selling a tmic or a fmic cheap please lmk. ask of now im stuck at a stand still until I get the leak fixed I was also leaking out of the mass air flow sensor on the intake. prob just needs a new gasket. but the amount of smoke I seen comming out of the tmic was like walking into a vape shop during a competition. do you think that could be why my turbo blew in the first place. the car had a tune on it. when the tmic cracked the turbo still ran at high levels and prob kept spooling with no pressure. any thoughts?

xt2005bonbon Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Is it literally cracked or did the tabs just came off? If it is the latter, a forum member is selling a kit to fix this issue for good. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/bullet-proof-tmic-kits-189608.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pazuzu Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'm also about to post up a used Avo tmic. It's a nice piece that fits into stock location and uses factory lgt mounting, bpv, and splitter Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLiTzd Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 I checked again after I got home and the code is gone now. Quick story for you though. Whe. I changed the plugs I had a hard time getting cylinder 4 plug in. Misfired at first and looked in with a mirror seen it was crooked. We recapped the tip and still had a problem going in but it went in straight. We didn't boar it out and use an insert I just tapped the end a little. Could it possibly misfiring do to that or is it more than likely just running rich from the boost leaks. The intercooler isn't installed yet that will be on by next week as soon as I find time. Bought that from someone on the forums and it came with a hks ssbov so I'm hoping the leak from the bov is solved by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
