Eureka! Boost problem isolated Posted by TML [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
After many hours of troubleshooting and pondering, I have it solved. The intercooler is leaking from the header on the delivery side. I went to Home Depot and picked up some ABS pipe supplies to make fittings to pressure the system up. Once I did, I could hear it leaking like crazy.
For those interested, here are the parts needed:
for the intake side
1 - 2" end cap (o.d. is 2.75")
1 - 2" to 1.5" coupler
1 - 1.5" end piece with a 1/2" NPT fitting
1 - 1/2" to 1/4" NPT brass reducer
1 - ABS cement
1 - teflon sealing tape
for the turbo side
1 - 1.5" end cap (o.d. 2.25", needs to be ground down about 1/8")
Also needed: compressor, hose with male 1/4" NPT end.
So my next question is, how long does it take to get the intercooler out? Can it be temporarily repaired? I will probably upgrade to a bigger intercooler in the spring.
