Good to hear it was simple and no worries bro. Give me a shout later if I can help with anything else..

 

Well I found the source of the leak, thing is Turbonetics sent me 16 3.0" T-bolt clamps, instead of 6 3" and 10 2.5". The 10 hose clamps I bought arent holding up very well, 2 were loose even though they were put on with an air ratchet and then some. I dont want to have to keep tightening clamps so I called Turbonetics about getting the correct 2.5" t-clamps shipped to me ASAP. Im waiting for a call back from Reggie. I guess I wont be feeling full boost for a few days still

 

Sorry to hear bro, best of luck!

 

Turbonetics were closed today, and I am sure Reggie will call you back tomorrow, probably have the claps by Wednesday. I finally cranked my freshly TURBOED Z today and the first thing it did was run hot, no coolant, forgot to fill it back up after my new thermostat was installed, duh. Then, an exhaust leak gremlin is lurking somewhere under my hood, I haven't driven the Z yet, but man she sounds brutally mean!!! Good luck with the rest of your install.

 

Which Thermo? The Nismo?

 

Well guys after re tightening the clamps I bought and going out for a test spin, same problem. I get about 5psi first run, then only around 3psi after. Ill let you know how it goes when I get the correct T-bolt clamps.....

 

That sucks... I'm sure you will be fine when you get the right T-bolts. Good Luck.

I've been waiting to pull this one out...

 

Lol guys, no harm done, he PM'd me Im waiting to here back from Reggie about an ETA on the T-bolt clamps. The pipe that runs from the passenger side u-tube from the IC to the MAF is the one where the coupling gets blown off. Should be an easy fix...

 

Check the plugs they supply for stock o2 sensors on the headers I've seen the washers they give you melt.

 

WTF did you say?

 

Ditto on that.....Need some clarification on this one. Gotta hate the hit and run.

 

Hey Alberto, were is your boost gauge reading boost at? Off the plenum or off the compressor housing? After you fix your clamp, if it still reads low, check the gauge. It should be running off the plenum somewhere.

 

Its T'd off by the nipple coming off the plenum. It goes one way from the plenum to BOV fitting, and th eother way to the guage, so I know its correct. I get 22in/Hg at idle...

 

Update: Reggie just called me, he will be overnighting the correct t-bolt clamps to me, I should have them tomorrow Thanks MIA for calling him, they have good customer service its before 8 am Cali time and he already called me back. Sucks that there was a miscount on the clmaps, but its good to see they take care of their customers ASAP if there is a problem. I hope tomorrow Ill be reporting back to you guys about how sick full boost feels....

 

Glad Reggie got it covered for you bro...

 

my fault guys.. I'm new to all this forum stuff.. got it now though... PM PM PM,

 

Alberto, don't forget to add oil to the engine before you start her up! haha...well, so much for you being stock. Sounds like your ride will be one nice "sleeper"
