Hey everyone, New here and slowly getting better at moding cars but I made a mistake and was wondering if anyone could guide me in the right direction
I installed the PRL titanium inlet tube this weekend and ended up accidently snapping the bolt off inside the Turbo, I removed the turbo from the car and got it out and re-tapped the holes, everything went back in, tight, and together nice and easy. When I went on a test drive everything sounded good until I really gave it some gas, the build up sounds weaker, won't build boost past 10-11 PSI ( Before it would hit 20-22), and the blow out valve sounds weaker after letting off the gas at high RPM. It holds the boost at 11, doesn't feel any extra turbo lag, and It has not thrown any CEL codes at all. I checked all the clamps and hoses and they are all secure. I re-flashed the tune and re - flashed it back to Factory to see if that helped and got nothing.
I am going to try and Carefully put back the factory inlet pipe and see if that returns it to normal but I'm doubtful because if there was a crack / hole / leak it would throw a CEL code right ?
Any Advice on what to check next if that doesn't help ?
Thanks! Let me know if any pictures or other information that would help.
