i performed that pressure test on it this morning and found a tear in one of my couplers. so i replaced it and it fixed the problem. Thank you so much for your help guys...you're the best. car is running like a champ now.

NICE. i might have to go to Home Depot in the morning and test that out. THANKS.

this sounds pretty similar to what's happening to me. everyone is telling me it's a boost leak as well. if you wannt check out my thread here is the link... http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37083

how do you perform a boost leak test on the IC pipes?

i think you might be right on with that because my boost gauge wasn't really showing much boost. the maximum i recall it showing was about 3-4 psi. i'm going to take all the pipes off and buy new couplers and see what happens from there. i wonder if it might be the IC i'm using, might have a leak.

what could be causing the white smoke?

i just finished putting my car back together and i took it out for it's maiden voyage when all hell went wrong. the car went from being bone stock to having the following installed: -57 trim ct26 -hard IC pipes -spearco replica IC -BIC DDP -cat delete and full exhaust system -Greddy...

yeah S02's are pretty expensive. not that expensive but pretty darn close.

good eye.

i'v always liked the Advans. i say you leave them the stock color. and 245 is the largest you can go and have it look like it belongs on there. you can push a 255 or even a 275 but it sticks out a bit. someone already mentioned it...a 245 tires sit flush with the wheel.

the flat rate for an average mechanic is what like $60/hour. so say 2.5 hours is like $150. that's not too bad. but parts are fairly expensive. rack and pinion is like $200, the hard line is about $95, and the resevoir is about $60. it adds up. if you need all that stuff replaced you're...

exactly...it's pretty easy to do.

that's what i did. the hard line that goes from the resevoir to the rack/pinion had a leak. and instead of replacing it i just decided to live without PS. it sucks parallel parking but who cares. it gives my arms/shoulders a good workout. :biglaugh:

that's pretty cool. i like the spin feature on there. gives you an idea what the wheels/car will look like while moving. too bad they don't have a larger selection of wheels.

very nice. real clean install.
