I just don't want to hear you blow up your engine in a hurry and blame it on the kit. If the engine is not yet tuned, stay off boost just to
be safe.

I believe MM's service is acceptable now (used to be terrible) so worth it IMO .

all you need to do is move the maf pre turbo. This will make the car pull through instead of blow through. Having a pull through system, with the maf pre turbo, you can tune using a cobb.

Funny guy. I guess having your car tuned after only a few months was just unacceptable.

Now that the service is nearly instant, I guess the price (practically free) is more palatable?

Dude - during the "terrible" times, for every complainer there were as many as one hundred other customers out there that were out-of-their-minds satisfied.

Honestly, with the way people are starting to abuse the new system, I think I may go back to the old method.
I can deal with 1 out of every 100 customers bitching and moaning.

So, in a word, STFU. :buttslay:



Not a requirement, just easier.

The tube the MAF is in - regardless of its placement - must adhere to all the same requirements.

Well - something terrible will happen if you don't fix the leak ;)

Most likely source on LHS is the oil pressure sender - where they would have t'd into for an oil feed to the turbo . So trace that line on the turbo back to the block and check it .

Or did they fit a sandwich plate under the filter for the oil takeoff ?

You are talking about the line that runs from the turbo to the oil filter right? i cheked that line with the car off and i didnt see anything that looked like oil was leaking but it did look like the puddle of oil was directly beneath the oil filter:confused:

Originally Posted by Brettus (Post 4004675)

Yes that line . Why not check it with the car running ? :rolleyes:

If the leak is not huge you should just drive it back to the workshop that did the install and have them fix it . How quickly is the oil leaking out ?

I don't think I'd get away with murder that many times.



Oil supply for the turbo at the turbo itself or the pressure sender or sandwich plate (as Brettus has suggested).

Also, the turbo oil drain line at either end.

The installer may have disconnected other oil lines and not replaced them correctly - the supply and return for the oil coolers, etc.

This is so sad. I hope this 8 makes it. ER, make sure your oil levels stay topped and if you are not confident in your ability to find and fix the leak then please tow it in. A small leak could cost you an engine in a second especially under boost.
