I did this and now i boost at 4 psi and spits stuff out the blow off... does boost creep go backwards? I'm guessing it is because i did not connect the vacuum hose that was on the EFI pipe...? Is it? If it is what should i connect it to?

boost creep isnt really a "thing" its just an explanation for the extra air.

my turbo is fine i took out the efi pipe and now my car is boosting at 5 psi max, it has done this when my intercooler hose was leaking. but i think the hose is fine... would it have anything to do with the vacuum hose that was originally connected to the pipe? am i suppose to connect it elsewhere since there is no more pipe? i just have it hanging there connected to nothing:(

just lave the pipe to free air it only to bleed off air i think

so if it is not the vacuum hose or the breather what do u think is the problem?

but the other end of the vacuum hose is connected to a lil sensor or sumtin as the input... and it has another one connected to the same sensor which is output i think?

if it completely dsconnected yeah, but he is just talking about the bleed hose, which connects to the efi pipe.
it can be disconnected.
at least that is what i got told when i asked, there is a thread here some where

meshing a turbo is as simple as you make it... you literally just put mesh over it... all it is, is a less restrictive filtration... nothing more, nothing less....

i figured that much, but i am trying to find out what would cause me to stop boosting... that is why i was asking about the breather hose and the vacuum hose, but everyone says thats not the problem, other than that everything is still the same but just no more boost and the blow off bolws out oil at hig revs... any solutions any one:( this is the first serious problem i got with my car, and i had it for a year and a half now

i can pretty much bet you your turbo is fucked mate... oil through boost pipes out of dumpvalve... its obviously leaking through the housing and coming onto the inlet side... your seals mate....

i cant see it being anything else.. the oil is a big indication...

that would really suck if my turbo died, because i drove the car yesterday morning... let the engine cool off for some hours... took off the efi pipe and meshed my turbo, took it for a test and it never boosted since i meshed it
