Installed FMIC GOT PROBLEM
I finished mounting the front mount intercooler and running the piping and took it for a test drive with the bumper still off and when it gets to high RPM's and near full boost the car sputters pretty bad. The other thing that is wrong is that when im just normal driving feather footing it, there is a whistle immediately after letting off of the gas every time. It is really high pitched like the bell when you walk into subway. Is there most likely a boost leak somewhere or is it something else?? any suggestions are appreciated....

Re: Installed FMIC GOT PROBLEM
my guess of the sputter is maybe a electronic tuning issue? i dont know thats my guess and the whistle noise can be the BOV...check it when its at idle. rev it a couple times to see where that high pitch whistle noise is coming from.

Re: Installed FMIC GOT PROBLEM
Check the piping to be sure there are no leaks.
What fuel mods do you have? And the noise when you let off, if I had to guess would be your bov  If it's making a noise when you are letting off the gas, sounds like it's working right.

Now, that gasket maker won't hold for shit on the throttle body... The previous owner did the same thing to mine, and I had some huge boost leaks outta my TB... I've replaced them and the car should run much better... ^I'm suggesting replacing that... also, check all the other connections, that's most likely where it'll lie...

Re: Installed FMIC GOT PROBLEM
When i put my intake on it made a whistling noise when making full boost but it was a boost leak on one of the rubber couplers. Not sure why it would make the noise when u let of the gas maybe a leak on the bov. When i did my boost leak test i found one on the throttle body between my new UICP and TB, and also on my BOV with a new gasket. THrew some RTV on both sides of each gaskets and no boost leaks.

Re: Installed FMIC GOT PROBLEM
shouldnt making your own gaskets work just fine instead of buying them for 10 bucks or more? How thick does the throttle body gasket have to be?

Re: Installed FMIC GOT PROBLEM
My experience was otherwise... maybe it'll work for some... but from what is happening to your car, I would think otherwise...
Check for other leaks first, if you don't find any... spend $10...

Re: Installed FMIC GOT PROBLEM
well i decided to rip all the piping apart and i got the gasket maker goop from NAPA and make the throttle body gasket and the bov gasket. I dropped one of the four corner nuts on the throttle body down and it got stuck somehwere inside the engine bay so i need to get another one of those.... Does anyone have any opinions on that gasket making goop?
Also is connecting pipes with couplers and clamping like a hard thing to do or once its clamped down tight is it good?
