hey guys,
So ive bin having a problem with my 2003 Blob wrx.
car has had a td05 16g, walbro fuel pump, decat up pipe and down pipe and remap.

i have been experiencing power loss so took my car to be tested for leaks. only leak that could be found was on the turbo inlet pipe right by where it attaches to the turbo, it is a pretty big split.

would this cause this sort off issue as its only the air intake?

thanks in advance

 

Wouldn't that air leak cause the inlet air to bypass the MAF (sucked in directly by turbo) and the car would run very lean?

I would expect it to.

 

Thanks for the reply,
That's what I thought so would it cause power loss?

 

Yes

 

Are the turbo inlet pipes hard to fit on the blobeye

 

There all fiddly and time consuming.

 

Take it the inlet manifold needs lifting?
Thanks again guys

 

With a silicone pipe apparently it can be done but anyone that can do it is a hero. Far easier to lift the manifold and quicker. As for a standard pipe forget it manifold off.

 

Half way through being a 'Hero' I wished I'd gone the taking the manifold off route

 

Lmao got one now going to have ago tomorrow but am definitely going to lift the manifold.... Just hope it fixes my boost issue, car feels about 200bhp lol

 

Any progress chaps

 

After a long day its on the car and problem is solved pushing 1.4 bar and staying there with alot of pull cheers guys
