Thread: Breaking up again

Gotcha. Thought you were switching for good.

I wanna do a T25/T28 too...that would be killer. I'll have to find this 'how to' thread and start saving my pennies.

if its not a boost leak check your plug gap

Yeah, I was thinking about just changing the plugs anyway...can't hurt.

right, my buddies procharged mustang broke up really bad at higher rpms once it warmed up, we couldnt figgure out the issue for YEARS (car wasnt his DD in the least bit so it was cool i guess) one day it dawned on him to close the gap...(by the way he thought it was a tuning issue) and boom...worked like a charm...til the seal on the s/c blew

What kind of wires? I got a misfire on my DE-T with Magnacor wires. I only use NGK now.

The wires are NGK's, with NGK plugs. A mis-fire is one thing...my problem is that the car can't even go into boost. And with draw thru MAF, it points straight to a boost leak. Like I said, 14psi is likely to dislodge, or looses couplers. That's a lot of pressure in those pipes.

I'm 99.99999% sure it's a boost leak. And after closer inspection of the pipes last night I've even got a pretty good idea of which clamp/coupler it is. I just need to borrow a tool from work today, and try to get that clamp on there a little better. And eventually (as in, this weekend when I have time to actually take apart/put back together a lot of the pipes) I'll do what Tek said and spray some hair spray on them.

The plugs could be an issue too...and if they're not, they could become one. So, I think I might just do that this weekend too. Can't hurt.

that hair spray thing really works, i recover .5psi, after sprayed my couplers

Well, I checked the plugs, they're fine. I also finally got a pressure test done and found my leak...a nice big crack in a soft 90* coupler that goes into the throttle body.

So, a new coupler is on the way already, and she should be back up and running in no time.
