Max Capacity Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 The worst case you’ll have to lift the TGV’s I’ve heard that one can be tough I had the Tuner delete the code for my broken connector the TGV’s work fine 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

DaveWaters Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 This is what I used ...didn’t remove anything. I know its pricey so maybe a friend has one you can borrow Crap Tapatalk ...can’t seem to post link Google (snap on 1/4” drive 7mm swivel socket) The chrome one is the one you want Other companies may make a similar socket but the snap on is particularly shallow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice I always tell people to bolt the turbo to the up pipe. Sorry, 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

1-3-2-4 Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 I finally got it and the gasket replaced what a huge pita.. lost one of the tiny ass screws at that as well.. Still not sure why I can’t hit my target boost level sometimes about 3 psi short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I was able to get 18 psi with ease now it's 14-15 psi I'll ask the tuner about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hopefully that is something easy to fix. Good job getting that sensor replaced. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
