injector gromemt boost leak

When i put my secondary rail back in i couldnt really get the grommet to fit in there just right so i just set teh rail on the gromemts with the injectors going into their bores in the lim and bolted it down hoping the grommets would seal. could that cause a vacuum leak if the grommets didnt seal it all the way?

i sprayed carb cleaner down under the lim and sure enough it bogged, since i was slightly suspicious of a vac/boost leak.

i had to put the damn gromet on the injector and then put it in, it was like too big to fit into teh bore on the LIM. gay *** ****

boost builds a little slow sometimes and at top end boost it kidn of looks like it has trouble maintaining the 10psi.

in 1st gear it wont even hit 10psi, maybe 7 by redline

That wouldn't cause a vacuum problem in the sense of the turbo system controls.

Yes, If the grommet is bad you will have a vacuum/boost leak. Worse yet you will have fuel vapor leaking out when under boost. New ones are cheap.

well ill give myself a whole hearted pat on the back cause when i tore that **** apart man o man the grommets were like sticking out the sides, sideways, all just raosted to **** and wow just wow. that's gonna solve so much **** , the sounds (i could hear fuel flow but with no leaks..was like wtf..) whistling..of vac leak. loss of power, and just piece of mind that it's fixed

so..need new grommets but gotta get to work this afternoon..

Autozone it? or drive the beater till i get some real ones

^^AAAAAAAAAAAAAh! Let's leave it parked. And maybe we should have someone from a qualified garage look at it before we burn this car up.
