Coolant line was rubbing the bottom of the compressor housing. This quickly explains the lack of ability to build boost quickly.

 

Holy ****... I think you found your problem.

 

SS is awesome. In Mother Russia, hoses cut you!

 

I ran low 13's with this hole a week back, and high 12's before I broke my trans 3 weeks ago.. **** my life I'm excited to plug it.

 

small boost leak.

 

easy fix!

 

Easy fix indeed. ...A little RTV and a quick street tune right?

 

Self-Fusing Silicone Tape

 

 

big league bubble gum or gtfo

 

Just cut out a little piece of pvc and JBWELD it on.

Good ******* lord i didn't know holes came that big

 

how about you fix it properly by welding it shut and then place the coolant line to not do that again.

 

How about you just remove the coolant lines and run only oil cooled?

 

or take a length of fuel hose, lets say 4".

slit it down the middle.

wrap it around said location.

zip tie it in place.

?????.

 

Or just coat the water line in vaseline. Voila nice and slippery no friction FTW

 

Replace/weld up the pipe, get that coolant line fastened to something, and enjoy.

Here's the bad news: In order to make boost with that large of a leak, you've probably been running the turbo way past its max RPM. The turbo may start passing a little oil, and it may have a little more shaft play than normal. Keep an eye out for these things.

 

Awesome suggestions.... but... I'll be cutting a piece of flat aluminum, hammering it to shape using body blocks, and welding it back on. Grinding it back to shape and reinstalling

 

thats what she said and everyone knows hondabond > jbweld

 

Stupid. Best Fix would be to Just put the hole in the nice groove and jbweld it in place. That's where it wants to go so let it go there.

 

Welded. Turbo going on tomorrow morning.
