i had one, but fixed it. i have 2.5" intercooler piping now. i guess my car is just finicky. it will hit fuel cut when shifting into 2nd at high rpm, and sometimes when going towards the higher range on the tach. it's very intermittent.

looks like everyone but me can go past 8psi without hitting fuel cut. :( looks like the greddy profec is going in today to replace the $2 boost controller that came with the car. lol

this.

i spent 4 hours saturday installing my intercooler piping kit. then.................. sunday afternoon i got rearended at a red light. the bumper looks a little pushed in, but i have to get a better look at it tomorrow.

good stuff guys. for now i'm going with a cx racing piping kit for the stock cooler. my stock piping is a bunch of crap thrown together due to leaks. for now the stock cooler should be fine. i'll grab an intercooler to replace the stocker from DM later on. i think they have something that will...

i was hoping for 500 at the crank. i'd be happy with 400 wheel. i want to stay with a ct26 based turbo for now because i have a nice downpipe, and don't really need more power than that anyway. i found a cx racing piping kit in the for sale section pretty cheap. i was thinking about just...

do the top-botom intercoolers cool as good as the other ones? i was told that they aren't as effective as the other style ones. also, at the power level i'm looking for is an aftermarket cooler necessary? can the stock one be used for anything above 400hp? if so, i can just get a piping kit.

i'm shooting for no more than 500. i plan on using one of albert's turbos, lex afm, 560's, afcII, walbro 255, full 3" exhaust with a bic ddp, and a greddy profec b boost controller. right now i'm on the stock turbo, bic ddp, and running 10lbs.

that's what i figured. the older DM kit has the inlet and outlet on opposite sides. what do you think about this kit? http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-7mgteintercoolerkit.php

i finally solved my boost leak issue, so now i'm on to the next thing. is there any advantage to havint the inlet and outlet on opposite sides on an intercooler? i've heard that there's better cooling with them on opposite sides, but i know that the piping is shorter the other way. on...

well, i fixed the leak and got it all back together. the car is still doing the same exact thing. it's fine at half throttle, and as long as you keep it under 5psi. as soon as it goes past 5psi, the car feels like it's hitting a brick wall. looks like it's time to do some more research. :(

what are the odds of this?..... i pressure tested the spare intercooler, and it has a leak in the same spot as the one on the car. it's not as bad, but still a leak. is this common on stock ic's? the leaks are at the bottom, drivers side facing the core support. i'm just going to try and jb...

good news guys. i pressurized just the intercooler, and it definitely leaks. it's leaking right where i've been seeing the oil. luckily i have a spare to use until i order the dm kit. i'm sure there are other issues with the car, but am i correct in thinking that the leak will cause the code...

also, i swapped out the maf and air filter for another one i had. now the car idles right at 700, but it still hits a wall at 5-6 psi. i spotted a bit of oil on the lower right corner of the intercooler. i'm sure if i could pressurize it, that's where the leak might be.

ok guys. where do i find a 2 3/4 coupler to use as a boost leak tester? i want to make a cap to mount on the turbo so i can pressurize the system. none of the hardware stores have anything in that size. i need top find the problem so i can move on to the next issue. lol please help...............

i'm looking for some of the same answers.... my car suddenly won't go past 5lbs without cutting out. i tried to do a leak test, but i'm not sure i did it right. now my car has a high and erratic idle, and seems to have a miss too. is there any way a bad sensor can cause the car to see an...

i have an autometer gauge in the car in addition to the stock one. when it hits 5psi, the car hesitates and kicks a boost leak code. the car was doing it before with a cheapo boost controller so i took it out. it wqas fine for a few days, but now it does it at 5psi every time. i'm going to try...

what was it? i can't boost past 5 without throwing a boost leak code. time to make a boost leak tester. :(

i picked up a cusco rear strut bar for $50 today. then i broke one of the strut mount bolts while installing it. :( i also cleaned the hell out of my car and stickerbombed it for my friends sticker company. i'll find some pics and upload them.

when you open the hatch and have a ton of water pour out above your head. fml, i thought i fixed the leak.
