Subject: [s-cars] RE: New MAF tested to fix stumble / low boost issues

EDdy,
Have you actually pressurized the intake manifold to check for leaks?  I
sort of recall a long ago post from Igor possibly, that reported a very hard
to find leak in the michelin man Xover hose.  IIRC it was right in a seem
that was rather difficult to detect.
And as there seem to have been such a number of mtm1 problem postings of
late, perhaps that software sucks as opposed to blows?

95 1/2 Avant -ALL rs2 stuff smooth and steady to 27psi








Um, color me stupid?  When any of my hoses either ripped or popped off (and
I had many, pre-Samco), my car would never ever do anything remotely close
to this.  It merely would not boost past 10 psi, in the case of a rip, or
would not accelerate at ALL (let alone overboost!) and eventually stall, in
the case of a pop.

HOW could a leak cause MORE boost to occur, Mr. Bill???  Maybe I was snoring
through that part of Physics class or huffing bunson burner fumes
(likely)????

Sorry Ed, I've got not further suggestion for ya, other than swap out WGFVs.
Well, other than swap out your CF trim for my wood, that has GOT to have
something to do with it.  Or, simply email SMJ, the guru of all gurus, I'm
sure he's got a BTDT for ya.

-Paulie disagree, oh, and having wood doesn't give me wood K.
