Could it be? im 90% sure i have a collapsed intercooler pipe somewhere and my motor seems to be "clunking" Could this be the cause?

also will 100watt fog lights work in a 55 watt housing?]

edit would a vaccume leak cause you to have little boost?

 

Not sure about the first one

Yes, although you might burn something or melt wires.

Yes

 

clunking could most likely be timing off?

 

Clunking = not good.

you need to determine if its coming from the top of the bottom of the motor. Use a hose, PVC pipe or something that you can put on your ear and listen.

 

OH! it could be a spring seat mount.

 

no, its from the motor, you hear it when im ideling in driveway. i dont think its anything serious, but id like to do a compression test on it.

Would a boost leak cause it to clunk?

 

A boost leak should not cause a clunk.

 

could bad wires or bad cap/rotor cause it, i just changed my timing belt but it clunked before that.
plugs are new.

 

i doubt it, probably a mount of some sort

 

could be.
If the clunk really was the motor would i get a check engine?

 

No you would not get a code.

 

anyways it probably is an engine mount, how many are there, upper and lower?

and the performance problem is probably a wastegate adjustment (i hope)

 

You have 3 lower mounts and 2 upper mounts.

 

Edit you also have 2 lower torque mounts from the tranny to the subframe.

 

how many of them are prone to knocking?

edit, does it happen often that wastegate loses adjustment?

 

The R/S one will clunk if bad.

The WG will usually never go out of adjustment. It is usually someone that moves it.

 

my god i need a boost guage these POS GLT's/AWD dont come with one, so retarted that they didnt even come with the crappy cluster one, its not like the couldn't have easily bolted in a cluster off of a t5.

 

LOL I hear you

 

another quick off topic question, will a front door off of a sedan fit on my wagon?

edit: also my wastegate question... i dont have the time today to do it cause i work later, but i felt under the heat shield to the wastegate rod i though it was, and it seems completly loose, just by hand i could move it an inch in any direction.

 

Pull the heat shield and inspect it.
I think so I would measure to double check.
