alright guys i just posted up i was going to snap because i couldn't find the location of my boost leak...well i bit the bullet and bought an air compressor, and on top of that, became a beast at building pressure tester

anyways, i sprayed water in the region with the air running through, and couldn't see any bubbles, but i certainly traced down the leak underneath the TBB and vacuum line to the left DV. what could it possibly be?? heres a diagram

What year is your car? If it's a 2000 or 2001 it's probably your f-hose.

it isn't a 2000. the y-pipe is the updated one.

Did you do all of the installation of these parts?

**alosh** · 08-20-2008 07:43 PM

oh snap my bad...this is a pic off the internet i used for reference...it is indeed a 2000 and i thought the F hose was located next to the firewall.

is it the F hose, is that what it is there?

078 133 784 AJ but look into a silicone upgrade or the home depot metal f-hose. It's kind of a pain to change so you only want to do it once if possible.

Yup, 99% chance your F hose is FUBAR.

**kodycobra** · 08-20-2008 09:36 PM

Hell yeah! I'd be checking that F-hose as well. I just replaced mine last week with some brass fittings and such that I bought from Westlakes(Ace) hardware.

Solid F-hose FTW!!

f-hose. mines shot also. does anyone know if it can be replaced under warranty since its going in anyways? might as well do it for free while i still can if its possible and don't have to deal with it now, atleast
