i was driving my tef today, and when i shifted to secod gear all i heard was sometihg popping and it kinda sounded like i blew a tire but i checked and nothing. my teg has a t3/t4 turbo and now when i drive my car it sound like a freaking jet angine in my engine compartment. please any help out there, also i need to know exactly how the turbo vaccuum lines are supposed to go hooked up. please help help. this is my only ride and i need to know where i can get some info.

 

You need to supply some more info.

What do you mean a jet engine? Like, when you hit the accelerator you hear the turbo spooling loud? Is the exhaust louder?

The vacuum lines could be any number of ways, it all depends on your setup and how they were run.

 

Did you blow an intercooler pipe off?

 

that is what i was going to ask sounds like what happen to u shmoo

 

I was checking it out today and it was a hose clamp coming from the bottom of the turbo connecting to the intercooler pipe. But I fixed it. It just scared the crap out of me I was thinking the worst. Oh yeah by the way some one told me that the vaccuum lines for the bov and the fmu need to have nipples coming out of the intake manifold....so I just need to know if this is true. Schmoo can you post a pic of how your running your vaccuum hoses??? I would really appriciate it a lot and it would be very helpfull also. Thanx.

 

Sorry, I don't have a picture for you.

I pretty much t-ed all the lines off of the fuel pressure regulator vacuum line, so it isn't really rocket science.

I plan to remedy all the tees that I have because I just purchased a vacuum manifold from Golden Eagle that will allow me to hook the wastegate, blow off valve, and boost gauge to one common vacuum line.

 

yeah, my friend's STi was pushing the equivilent of 30 lbs of boost to hold the piping at 18 on the stock turbo because he forgot to tighten one of his connections

 

I remember blowing an intercooler pipe off and had to limp it home. It was slower than dog shit. I don't remember my car N/A being that slow.

 

well i figure if the pipe was blown clear off you lose the add hp of the turbo but gain it's exhaust restrictions... as well as the added bends on the intake side of things... in theory it should be slower than NA

 

So what vaccume hose cause I hear some ppl tapping the brake line before the check valve....well yeah when that happened to me my car couldn't go I felt like I was driving with only one piston of power.....lol but yeah I'm back to normal now... Ima post some pics of my car soon. Thanx for all the help guys
