open dpipe issues?
i just recently finished my custom turbo install on my 98 civic ex
i'm running a t3t4
problem is...after taking the car around for the first spin...i realized the turbo is making any boost...
i thought it was an insane boost leak...but i checked everything...everything is on nice and tight
i took the car to a local tuner shop and i was told that my lack of a downpipe currently isn't providing enough backpressure that my lil sohc motor needs to spool a biggie t3t4...
any opinions??
thanx

Re:
did you check you charge piping and all the obvious stuff for leaks?

people think up some stupid **** these days.

Re: Re: (twkdCD595)
to the left of the turbine blades is there a hole for an internal wastegate?if so cover it up with somehting,like a downpipe flange.all the air is coming out of that hole and you are losing ALL of the pressure to build boost

I second that.......sounds a bit loud for me but it's awesome feel.
Name the shop so H-T members don't go there.
