Wit's End Turbo Owners - Thread #2..... (1 Viewer)

This is why we chose to put the intake forward.
If there was enough interest we could put together a kit for those that want to move away from how WE routed the intake. Silicone, clamps, maf extension harness, tubing. Make it a bit easier.

What did you smoke on the intake?

I ran a smoke generator through the brake booster vacuum line…
Found several tiny leaks

Oh I thought you meant smoked like melted something.

Lol…normally that’s how my luck rolls…thankfully not the case this time.

Hopefully once you get those leaks resolved you'll build proper levels of boost

As it turns out…much as you had suspected my cats lacked the flow to make the expected boost…now making healthy boost and it’s glorious.
Thanks for your insight

We've been through this a multiple times recently with in house and DIY installs. "I am not building full boost only like 3-4 PSI..."

"Ok disconnect the vband at the exhaust side (not at the turbo lol), separate the downpipe from the exhaust by at least an inch to let it breath, also disconnect the front O2 and go drive it..."

Every time it finds all the boost once it can exhale those exhaust gasses. Glad you are making healthy boost!

Extra perk —the sound of the engine + turbo straight out of the downpipe is pretty cool. All bark, no bite

Oh it’s fantastic for sure!
