I assume I blew a hose today in the way to work. WOT in 4th gear...no one on the highway and the car just bucked and it felt like it only had about 100hp. Boost gauge climbs, have some power...but definitely not full power. No CEL's.
My question is...is it easy to access the boost hoses going to the intercoolers? I have never tried. Up top the hoses seem fine and snug. Thanks for any info.

 

Surprising you did not get any CEL's Most likely a hose....hopefully...

 

I hope so....this is annoying with no power.

 

What boost are you running? Is it possible you had throttle body shut down? When that happens it is a SERIOUS "buck"!

 

Tried to get back on it, and the car was very sluggish...boost gauge went back up to 1.3 then to 1.2....but almost makes me feel like only 1 turbo is working.

 

What programming are you running? Do you have the throttle body shut-down fix? If not, you will have big problems if your showing 1.3 bar (been there).

 

Giac stage II. Not sure of the throttle body fix. Never knew about it.

 

Have you done the hoses yet? Take off the bumper and check your hoses

 

can I access the hoses from removing the rear tires and fender linings?

 

Yes but removing the bumper is easier.

 

Now my question is....is it easy to take the rear bumper off? I did the front Techart II install myself, but never ventured into the rear bumper area.

 

The boost hose by the rear passenger side tire popped off yesterday on my car. Took it to Pep Boys, had them put the car on a lift, told them to reconnect the loose hose. The guy there was cool....fixed it in 5 minutes and didn't charge me for it.

 

Thanks, did you have to remove anything to get to the hose?

 

Nope...you just need to put your car on a lift and access the area from underneath. Pretty simple stuff.

 

Thanks, just checked, and it seems all hoses are intact and in well. Can the car go into a limp mode with no CEL? I have not driven the car since this happened since I am still at work. Thinking a restart may clear any problems.
