Mr.Redface

Are there any diagrams of which connections to check? Never had a turbo before and haven't opened the hood to do anything but clean it so far.

Mr.Redface

Thanks, So just the main connections.
I'll have to get familiar with whats under the hood I just ordered the replacement BOV spring.

Where is the tube that needs to be tightened going to the turbo?

I tightened both hoses coming out of the intercooler and the hose directly behind the airbox, are there more connections I need to check?

Murphy's law may apply as well.....

Eric,
Has your boost stayed consistent?
Thanks,

Of course but I see more than 22LBS. But you also have to know that I son't have the factory stuff and I also run H/P Tuners on top of the GM Stage 1

I just had the same problem. Low boost in 1st and would bog when launched on the launch controll. I just had the GM stage kit done and thought it was something they did. I didn't notice this before cause over the winter with the snow tires on it I would take it easy in the first 2 gears.I read on here about you guys and the boost hoses so I checked them. They were all loose. But the worse was the air intake from the air box to the turbo is was so loose I could move it by hand. I think it's time to get the Hahn intercooler and hoses:)

Thanks guys for the help finding the problem with the hoses.

So far so good
There must have been a leak, because it is much more stable now.
