s2rs not holding boost
i fit a fmic to my zvh the otehr day, then my bonnet flew u, fit a nrew bonnet today and took a hammer to teh cooler to help it fit, ive checked for any leak from the cooler and its all ok, i did the bashing with a dead blow so i didnt pierce it.
i have a lot of play in my turbo shaft
i drove home just now, put foot down in 4th, boost wenbt round to 15psi and slowly dropped to 5psi
any ideas?

get some carburetor spray and whilst the engines ticking over spray the spray around the intercooler where u think its broken or all over even then if your cars revs pick up after about 10 seconds then u have a leak on your intercooler

Sorry to have to say it but whoever drilled a hole in the intercooler obviously isn't the worlds deepest thinker.

your point was it wont run if any air leaks,i said not always the case as mine ran fine with a pinprick hole in the i/c,also i know a very respected tuner on this board that did exact same with an i/c,but what does he know
still its better havin oil in the cooler and it misfiring like a coont,aint it

And the hole in the intercooler, i assumed when you said hole it would be sizeable rather than a pin hole, so i agree it probably wouldn't make a noticeable difference to the running. The one thing i would say though i cant see a pinhole being that effective at draining oil away.....?

you'd be surprised how much oil came out that hole,front bumper was virtually always damp with oil and i was cleaning it day in day out
have to mind the oil is getting pushed out at over 1 bar of pressure
instead of a nos purge kit i had an oil one
