lol yea my car sucks in stop and go traffic, i have no idea why
i wish it would just ****** run right for once
well i went to home depot and finally bought the s*** to do a boost leak test, and the ******* CEL comes back on lol so i know its a vac leak and not a bad MAF
everything will be fixed by tomm!!!
minus the high idle and weird fluctuating AFR at cruise speeds lol this car has too many problems
edit: and to add to it, i need new rear pads, so i have to go buy some cheapo's tomm. so i can order some good ones off of PG

yea but it only happens when its been idling for a while..which is weird
so that made me think it had something to do with the engine temp or something
idk hopefully this leak tester shows me something, im sure i have a few leaks here and there from my crappy welding haha

lol ok, none of my problems have been from the motor, its been from s*** leaking
IE: Oil leak, Boost leak, Coolant leak
thats whats caused ALL of my problems, except the timing belt, that was my bad haha
i made a boost leak tester today, filled the compressor up to 20psi and hooked it up to the tester, all i heard was air, a hugggggeee leak on one of my welds and another huge leak on the PCV vac lines
i broke the pcv plastic T thing a while back so i ghetto fabbed my own, turns out a shitload of air was leaking from it, so i just took some vac line and blocked off the PCV completely
i used this stuff called liquid PVC cement, works awesome
put it over all of my welds, let dry and then put a second coat, its like clear liquid that hardens
now all of my leaks are gone, except one small leak at my TB, prob because there is no gasket in there, just silicone lol
oh and i put in my new boostsciences boost controller and took off my turbosmart boost T
lets see if that actually makes a difference or not

+1, mate. I really like your P5 and it's awesome you do all your work yourself, but come on, you gotta buy some decent parts when simple stuff breaks, not just patch it up. I bet your motor and car would be strong and reliable if you just addressed all the problems properly. But still, glad to hear you've got some of the problems fixed.

...what...the...****!
i was looking all around for something to loosen and there wasnt anything that i could see
where is it at on the caliper?
edit: we are talking about the rear calipers right?

It's on the backside of the caliper recessed in a hole peek your head around you should see it pretty easy.
