Smile Found major BOOST LEAK

And fixed it for 5 whole dollars at home depot.

The boost leak was in the lower intercooler (stock IC) hose, it had a 3" crack down the middle of it. So what I did was go to the rx7 depot (home depot ) and bought a 2" x 5" piece of electrical conduit and slipped it inside the tube and clamped befor and after the crack and wouldnt you know it the boost leak was gone and my 7 is back.

Nice choice! Make sure you get a water temp gauge as well to keep track of the higher temps with the FMIC. I've got mine back to 180-190 with the underbelly/air scoop to the radiator.(The temps were up to 240-250 +)
