    Today i finaly had some time to go to home depot to get parts so i can make a pressure test tool. I was hearing hising at idle but didnt think much of it. (It's leaking air not gas) I hooked up the tested and it dodnt even pump 1psi and i could hear hissing right away. Sprayed some brake cleaner and found 2 injectors leaking and one really bad.

    I dont have AIR/FUEL gauge or VAG-COM so i couldnt see if im running rich. My o2 sensors cel keeps comming on and my gas get's low very fast. I assume the o2 cel wil go away when i get this fixed because o2 sensors were just fine when the motor came out.

    What problems was i running into while i was driving like this? I drove the car about 500 miles total with this leak and me not knowing about it and many of those miles were WOT. Car pulls good but for some reason i think it should do better.

    Here is some of my mods just in case you need to know
    PJKO4's
    630cc injectors
    85mm MAF housing with hitachi maf
    Gutted pre cats with 3" custom exhaust no mufflers

    you could be running lean at idle, I was when my o rings were bad. I really don't think you need to worry about it though. I drove mine for a long time before I discovered what the issue was.

    Just got done replacing the o rings and everything is almost quiet now except my damn alternator bearing. I pressure tested and no leaks, drove the car for about 10 miles and no codes so far.

    Now i need to figure out what's causing random misfires at full boost. With thease cars repairs never end. You take care of one thing than you find out something else is broken and needs replacing.

    Amen. I have a random misfire code in cylinders 1-3 which is bank 1. Also, in block 32 the ecu is pulling -25% of fuel away! That is the maximum amount that it can adapt for. Last night I switched the injectors from bank to bank to see if the rich condition follows it on the other side. I have never thrown so much money at a performance car in my life just to get it to run correctly. I'm too deep to quit anyway so I might as well finish it instead of selling it.
