Hey peeps on my car its boosting at 10psi on the first tubby but only 4psi on the 2nd, its shot up to 7psi every now and again... any idears? iv changed all the vac hoses, check intercooler clamps.. kinda stuck now

 

Tubby? Are you four years old?

There are hundreds of boost threads - I would search first.

 

wow... Sell.

 

He's from the UK, and I bet tubby refers to slang for turbo ...

 

I've lived in the UK and read craploads of UK car magazines and have never heard turbos referred to in this way. It could be regional slang but that does not excuse it.

 

Maybe he's part of that family, like in the movie ****** that Brad Pitt played in.. what were they called? They had "hella" slang !!

 

yep tubby stands for turbo, not rocket science

 

hah how could a Pikey afford a car?

He's probably from New Castle. They have the harshest English accents.

Sorry, Oomo, but until you clean up your typing, you're going to find it hard to get help around here lol. That could be good for you, though. Try searching.

 

I see. From now I'm going to refer to downpipes as 'downies', intakes as 'innies', SMICs as 'mickies' and and mufflers as 'muffies'.

 

????

wait a second....

isnt "muffie" british slang for.....

nevermind

 

ha ha

 

so I guess every is posting to give you a hardtime...

1-) try reseraching for other boost issues threads in the forum

2-) I wonder how you checked all the vacuum system already... its a big job if you hav the rats nest in there..

3-) uhm... silly question but are you blowing oil thru the intake>??? chekc the exits of the blow of valves to see if theres oil there... if there is most likely ur turbo seals are done for... and they are not holding anything lol...

4-) im a noob so check the forums for every single boost thread outthere... theres PLENTY of info.

 

spent the day on the car, there constant pressure escaping from just after the 2nd crv which has been replaced with the bov, so im guessing the ccv solenoids buggered (that means broken, not working ect) also the hose`s we`r replaced and im thinking the restrictor pills we`rnt refitted to the new hose`s...
