Guest George89 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I have a boost leak on my car which i can't hit over 0.4 bar. I noticed yesterday on the idle control valve the 2 vacuum pipes that are connect too it under it are just about hanging on. I will reconnect them when i get my tools back but could that produce a boost leak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 The pipes under the IACV are water pipes dude, so not those. Id check all the intercooler pipes for security of attatchment first, especially the ones on the cooler itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Yes 110% positive, they are lines from the coolant circuit, supposedly to stop it icing. The large black pipe goes round the engine to the turbo side is an air pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
