ok.. BIG QUESTION... i have a leak some where in my engine on the left sidei can hear it.. but i can not find it. When i run my boost past about 15 lbs my car bogs down, and has a lot of hesitation. What is my probelm, and where do you think the leak is coming from, it sounds on the left side maybe kinda towards the back. THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!

so your car boggs. my car had the same problem im not an expert but it could be your fule pump. if u dont have a upgraded fule pump your engine is not getting enough fule. if u r using a 16g turbo or higher turbo ur car will bogg, best thing 2 do leave ur boost at 14psi or lower untill u get a fule pmp upgrade. see my post? same shit as yours.

ok if your still using the stock turbo(T-25), thats your problem! the stock turbo wont boost much over 15-17psi! and the comment about the 16g and the fuel pump... your car will not bogg! you will most likely hit fuel cut only if you boost in upwards of 20psi and it wont bogg...it will feel like you hit a wall, this happens when there is more air entering the engine than fuel and the pump and injectors cant keep up so it just cuts the spark! my guess is that if he has the bigger turbo he has a boost leak... he could even have one with the stock turbo, the bogg is a good sign of a boost leak, make youself a boost leak tester - follow the directions on www.vfaq.com and check everything for leaks! good luck!
