Hey guys well I have been trying to track down an exhaust leak i have on my inline kit. I checked and re tightened the bolts from the dp to turbo. The noise is still there. From what I can gather the noise is coming from the waste gate area. I hear a loud hissing noise as well. I tried to boost in easily however after i got around 2lbs the ecu shut her down. When the car is not in boost it drives fine except for the exhaust leak noise. Any ideas? Do I need to tighten anything back up.
Thanks for the help.

 

hmm could the cause be the wastegate bolts being loose? from what i can tell they are on there pretty snug

 

I've blown out my wastegate gasket before and heard the hissing sound. My symptoms were that I couldn't reach full boost though. Have a look for that.

 

when the gasket blew did you hear a loud exhaust leak too

 

hold a piece of paper near but not touching where you think the leak. If the paper turns black, you found the leak.

 

How long have you been running the kit??

 

since may, i think it maybe a warped gasket or could be a leak coming from the manifold. car has been driving great before the noise and then all of a sudden when I pull off the highway from one exit to another I can hear the noise. Sounds like a civic with a exhaust. hopefully the mechanic can figure it out tommorrow
