Default car is broke at the dragon help!!

RPM Bucking at 2500 rpm + 0 boost

okay... had a overheating issue with the trans today... made the numbers and park and **** not show up on the dash... shariff was here at zdayz thank god and was helping me out... we unplugged the ecu's hoping to reboot and maybe get it to work.. but it didnt... then sat for a long time and everything worked! trans is fine now... but now... at 2400 - 2500 rpm... and when the boost gauge is at 0 coming from negatives vaccum... up to boost... it bucks strangely... then goes into boost if pushed and looses boost hard... im guessing there is a leak in the lines somewhere... am i thinking right?

tomorrow ill probably go beg shariff for some more help! cuz im at zdayz and now cant do the dragon till the car is running decent...

Good to hear you got the issues resolved. Brett(Tig488) told me about your problems as well. BTW, your car looked great and sounded even better!!

Thanks!

yah figured out why it was running so rich too... boost leak...

I drove 500 miles break in monday -> Tuesday... on Tuesday I drove it to TF... they found a oil leak where the drive shaft connects so they had to pull trans + exhaust out to seal it... Tune the car to 12.5 cuz it was getting the UTEC version 1 stutter in the rpm... so after I picked it up at 10pm... drove it to get some sleep... went to class on Wed till 9:30pm and left for ZdayZ!!!

I had no time to work out the problems

right when I pulled in my drive way from ZdayZ I found that the powersteering made a leak somehow... so i gotta fix that too lol

passengers side ps line got burnt through from the heat from the turbos, same thing happened to me at Fall Zdayz thing last year. Get a piece of (-6 I believe) SS hose and reroute it, works perfectly.
