Well after having had a very cranky car, clutch didnt like to engage same place, tough getting into 1st gear, terrible gas mileage, bad throttle control (needed more gas to than normal to accelerate), slow spool even after exaust and o2 housing, stalling with the AC, crappy idle, and 4psi of tapering after 5k rpm..

I decided enough was enough.. First I got a Halman MBC in place of my TurboXs which i later learned i did not have the gain set right..but i decided to keep the halman anyway.. This cleared up my throttle control, I used a lot less gas to get the same power as before, it also helped clear my spool up problem.. Also fixed my clutch engagement point (for some wierd reason), gas mileage, and AC stalling, but i still had a great amount of tapering, and my engine was still cranky and annoying to drive..

Then I got a Leak Test.. This is where the mechanic connects a intake tube on your intake hose. On the other side of his tube is a little nipple where he attaches a compressor pump, and feeds certain PSI levels.. As hes doing this, he pours soapy water on all the parts under pressure (Intercooler hoseing, BOV, Injectors, Vacum Lines, etc..)

Well my results came back that my BOV (what a piece of crap) leaks like a bastard at a mere 16psi and couldnt hold more than that.. My Injectors are also leaking pressure a bit, 18psi, much to my suprise. It was said this happens probably because the car is driven at high boost a lot (which i have due to my previous MBC problem in order to get the power I wanted out of it).. So this test showed me why my car was being so sick.

Im taking her to Mitsu to see if i can get Injectors and BOV under warranty. I dont see why they wouldnt, other than having an MBC, which ive never turned up past 19.5.. Im curious if they will let me upgrade to an MR BOV if i pay the difference...

So if your car is being cranky and annoying, take her for a leak test.. I found out a lot was wrong... 27k miles.

 

deff. take off the mbc first no doubt

 

yeah I've got my own leak tester that I bought from MachV from my old dsm. I should test the evo out just to be sure everything is operating at 100%.

 

Take the MBC out before you go to Mitsu. You don't want to risk loosing your warranty for 20 minutes worth of work!

 

Good luck, tho it wouldn't suprise me if they don't honor it.

 

Taking the MBC off means ill have to put everything back to stock.. which is a *****

 

paragraphs are your friend...

 

Anything that can modify boost is a quick ride to engine (and possibly drive line) waranty voiding - take the MBC off...

 

To bad i dont have the stock lines and stuff.. I know the Service Rep and the main tech pretty well.. They shouldnt give me problems.. I told him to let me know before they want to void stuff so i dont get written in the book..

 

Well i bought an MR BOV.. so i just need the to cover Injectors.. I feel this could be a problem. Crossing my fingers
