Driving with a vacume leak
 

will it hurt my car? and anyone have a install how to?

No i dont think it would hurt your car physically.

It WILL hurt: Performance, Idle, and gas mileage

How to install what? Do you know where the leak is?

no i was thinking there where just vac line then i relized o ya it could be anything. getting carb cleaner tomorrow

This works a million times better than carb cleaner.

Not sure what intake you are running but if you have a cone filter this is easy.

Take your TID to homedepot/lowes and go to the PVC pipe section. In there you will see black rubber end caps that come with hose clamps. Find one that snugs around your TID.

Then, punch a small hole in your new end cap and install it all into your car. Then get your compressed air squirter and set it for like 40psi. Then pressurize your intake of course with the car off.

If you have a leak. You are going to hear the hiss.

couldnt you use a vaccum pump too???

I guess...I would think compressed air would easier since you have a lot of volume to fill in the intake esp if you have a FMIC.

A small hand vacuum pump could take a while.

What's a TID? lol

now that i think about it..your probably right...

Turbo Inlet Duct - What ever pipe (stock or aftermarket or custom) in between the filter an the turbo inlet.

Since this is a turbo thread...I'm not talking about NAs.
