How old is the BOV? what type is it? Try finding a better vacuum source for it.

 

i'm going to get my hard pipe tapped and bunged for the line to the wastegate, and another for my AFR guage, then put the BOV and pressure sensor on it's own source, and the tree to another....

it should go good after this!...

 

ok quick question for you guys, i called the dealership on my break asking to order gaskets for my turbo line's and they're telling me there's like 10 to choose from, something about a copper washer and what-not, soooo....

my question is, i dont remember having to take off any washers or anything, should i just need the gaskets ( i believe they're back ), throw it together and call it a day or is there something i'm missing!?..

 

just buy a roll of gasket paper and make your own. Unless the mazda one's are reasonable that is.

The washers they're talking about are probably crush washers for the coolant lines - you're good to re-use the old ones so long as they're not severely crushed or nicked.

 

hah, i dont even remember taking out crush washers when the coolant line's were taken off....

hrm....

REGARDLESS, i believe the gaskets are a whopping $2 each anyways....

other then that, the car the way it is wont really revv. past 4000rpm....

damn thing....

 

gaskets were $7.80 for 4 which really isnt a bad deal, but would anyone know why, but there's a bigger problem and i dont think i posted it yet and am too lazy to check....

the BOV reacts when revved even slightly, but the vehicle gets compressor surge, does this make any sense?, why would it do this?...

it couldnt be because of the install could it?...

 

need dif. vac source for the BOV? where is it hooked to?

 

hahaha, like, tapped off 3time's and the pressure sensor and BOV is at the end of it....

so much for believing the local tuner shop....
