Any sustained turbo damage from this?
Hi guys-
Well i found the culprit of not being able to boost past 19# Saturday at test/tune day. I knew i must of had a boost leak somewhere and was thinking it was in the piping so i didn't dink with it at the track. Here yesterday at home i found one of the vacuum lines that goes on a barbed nipple on the bottom of the Magnus was blown off. Yes, it has zip tie on it. I'll have to look into an alternative way of clamping them if zip ties aren't gonna work.
Anyway, that line is what feeds my BOV and the Hallman boost controller. I never thought of checking that line because i knew they were all zip tied. Plus it's a bitch to get at them because my coil pack is mounted right above it. Yesterday i went through all the dsmlink logs and in the very first run of the day just after the shift from 1st to 2nd you could see where it blew off. There was a sharp spike downward in about 4 or 5 values. Now i know if i see that again, what it was.
Do you think the turbo could have gotten damaged from not having a functioning BOV throughout the day? I was using NLTS so my throttle plate was never closing which was probably to my benifit.
Also, any ideas besides zip ties for the vaccum hoses?
Thanks.
