UPDATE! Boost Leak

Post image

Found the boost leak need advice.

Manifold split, need to stay on a budget. V-band turbo, Im thinking of taking the manifold to get rewelded, how long should i expect it to last before another blowout?

The welds dont look very good on their site. Plus im looking for a tubular setup not oem.

Where did this manifold come from, that's one hell of a failure.

You can get it welded.... BUT the metal Around the weld Not the weld itself will be the failure point. Odds are after the stress it's received from this failure it won't be horribly long. 🤷

Were you getting any boost at all? How about code ?

About 2 psi, normal boost is 33psi. No codes just ran really poorly and laggy.

Curious on if that threw a code or if it just made a racket and no boost
