Re: compression test done

["Wing Gee" <winggee@hotmail.com>]

It made this sound with both the turbo manifold and both down pipes. I
didn't replace the flexpipe, i just took it off the down pipe to see if it's
coming before the flexpipe. I'm pretty sure i aligned them correctly,
because before i had one misaligned and there was a vacuum leak, from the
intake manifold smashing the mis aligned exhaust gasket.
it's highly possible that there is a vacuum leak somewhere.

Yeah that turbo won't work. i don't have a down pipe for it, nor will the
flange that bolts onto the manifold will work.

Hrmmm........ so *confused*

do but if you bolt the center in it will match and work fine.

plugged manifold outlets? Do you use the same manifold for the turbo? just a
different downpipe? did you align the exhaust manifold gaskets properly when
you installed everything? Sorry, I know these are stupid questions but
everyonee overlooks something once in a while.

rebuilt. KKK is the manufacturer and its even bigger than that Peugot one I
showed you. Totally different bolt pattern too. If you wanna come by
tomorrow you can look at it and I can turn the scope on and see if yu have
any exhaust leaks.
