joeblow Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 You may also check the inlet for potential leaks. The rubber they use is prone to drying out and cracking over time. If their is a leak in the inlet, the car is going to suck in extra air postMAF and cause lean issues. Just loosen the band clamp at the inlet-turbo connection and see if there are any cracks. It's cool; I'm with the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiWanToby Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I checked the connection from the air intake area, they seem fine. I did check the MAF to visually see if junk was impeding it. It looked clean, but the o-ring around the MAF kind of crumbled, I do not know if that would cause the issue or not, but as it stands the o-ring is definitely not doing its job now (when I took it out a crumbled section fell out). So now I have to find a o-ring that fits. Sadly no one seems to know the size here? http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3548578&postcount=13 http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/maf-question-131490.html?p=2837962 The search continues. I will hopefully meet up with a forum member so I can have yet another set of eyes visually look for hoses that are off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibr_adam09 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 It's been 3 days now without the lean code. So I think a gasket between the turbo and the TMIC did the trick. As far as a turbo replacement, I did order one from BNR and waiting for it to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Just reading up on BNR turbo's. He says not to run 5w-30 and don't use Mobil one ?! Really ? ( I run M1 no problem) Also which oil line would you guys go with : http://store.forcedperformance.net/PROD/FPMLSSSTI.html http://www.infamousperformance.net/servlet/the-995/IP%26T-Filtered-Turbo-Oil/Detail The easy replacement filter in the IP&T kit looks pretty useful, but it is more than twice the cost of the FP. That's money I could use on a tune. Mobil 1 5w-30 synth is terrible, don't ask why, just search it on the forum. The oil degrades quickly to a thinner weight which is bad for bearings all over. Some things you just accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Are there 'hidden' hoses I should check? Anything else simpleish to check? The manifold gaskets. They are a "classic" by now. Get some carburetor cleaner, start engine on idle, spray each joint between manifold and TGV and TGV and cylinder head and see if you get a change in rpm. Most likely to happen on a cold engine.
