Simple:

1. You have a leak
2. Refer to #1


Story:

I could not hold boost. Pressure tested the turbo boost path, found leaking pipe, tightened. Still could not maintain solid boost, replaced CBV with a block plate and look what I found.

 

Damn john... I think I know that the problem is... that 18T is to powerful, and I think you need to trade with me... 18 for the 15 with 16 wheels..LOL

How are you liking that ebc by the way?

I started ordering parts for the upcoming motor build, as far as turbo goes I think im going 19T and a HKS ebc..

 

Those IPD diaphragms have all been failing. I'm going to upgrade to the Forge one eventually.

 

That think isn't that old is it? Maybe iPd will replace it

 

Gabe, thats what I heard too. I called IPD and explained what happened. I told them that I heard that they have a tendency to tare. They said that they have sold thousands of them and have only had one returned and it was due to being installed incorrectly. They asked for a picture, I sent it. They were shocked and asked that I send it in to them so they could examine why. They did send me a new one. So, are the rumors true??? I am thinking they are not or everyone that has had their rip have not called IPD.

 

I have seen so many threads on that IPD diaphragm tearing. I guarantee that IPD is just denying it. Selling thousands of them and only one being returned because it was installed improperly, IMO, is a load of BS. I'm guessing most of the people that I have seen on VS who's teared did not send it back because they probably weren't going to bother putting another one in. If I keep a rubber diaphragm, I'll just get the OE Mitsubishi one and a stiffer spring from Viva.
