alright people. i bought a 2000 s4 with a blown turbo. pulled the motor and trans. i replaced as much of the little things that i could think of
stock turbos (i know lame, i just want the car to drive damnit)
all gaskets for the turbos
timing belt
water pump
oil feed lines
plugs
4 o2 sensors
TBB
710n's
after run coolant sensors
and maybe a few other littles things i'm forgetting
now i finally got the car all back together. it idles and sounds great. but there is no boost. i hooked up the awe boost guage and i've got nothing. took the car for a spin and i'm in vacuum all the time. if i push the car a little bit i MIGHT get 2 or 3 pounds. but its killin me. i only drove it for about a mile. so its back in the garage where it will sit until i fix this.
i made a vacuum leak tester for my mk4 gti 1.8t and with an adapter made it fit onto the y pipe. capped off the opening for the pcv valve and pressurized it to 10-15 psi. found one tiny vacuum leak at the DV but i can't find anything else. and i need some help
are there any major problem areas other than the things i've already replaced. i dont even know what else to ask. i'm just lost
do these cars have a limp mode? i know my gti did. but the thing thats telling me this is a boost leak is that when the car is idleing its in vacuuum. if i give it a little gas. the boost guage will go up to around 0.
help me out
and thanks in advance
