Needless to say, it was somewhat embarrasing to
report back to Tracy that after assuing him the hoses were attached, turns out
they were not. But, Problem solved.
Just thought
this might make you feel better {:>)
Thanks
Ed. I'm not sure it makes me feel any better, but it was entertaining
:-)
As I was
running the engine full throttle, I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting any
boost from the turbo. Since the wastegate was wide open, I was starting to
think it might just keep the boost at zero. Next, I started very slowly
closing the wastegate, which didn't produce a boost indication (because of the
large leak in the hose) either. The only thing it produced is the
sound of air escaping. I assumed that it was coming from
the pop-off valve, but it sure sounded like it was coming from under the panel
(thud, thud, thud). Fortunately, I have my pop-off valve set for 1.5
psi initially, to protect the engine from this sort
of stupidity :-)
