i loved the car for the first 2 weeks now im starting to ****** hate it lol

We've all been there man...find the vacuum leak, fix it and you'll love it again...guaranteed!! Well for atleast 2 more weeks anyway..lol!

Seriously though, if your running the stock IC pipes...do yourself a favour and replace them with hard pipes/silicone couplers and t-bolt clamps. I did and I've never looked back. Hang in there man!

not only that but now im getting a violent jerking when i go to get on it.

hey nick, its brandon.. my car actually did that after i put it back together after we had it apart.. one of the couplers had a very tiny hole in it and it about threw me through the window (even with my seatbelt on) every time i got on it b/c of how bad it jerked.. just check all of the intercooler connections and everything else the people on here told ya to look at

i used to get a really rough idle and no turkey noise when my car had an exhaust leak, took it back to where i bought it a week earlier and they spent 1 hour finding the problem and fixed it for free.....the way i found that i had an exhaust leak was from looking under neath the car when it idled on a cold day (-0 or better) and i could see exhaust from under the engine

and yea if you check my post rigt about yours, my westgate just went and it sound similar to what you got

though i will note, even after all the little tune ups on my car and spendig alot of time reading these forums, it appears that almost everyone has a bit of a rough idle, personally it doesnt bother me cause it doesnt hold back my performance and i very seldomly come anywhere close to stalling and never have fully stalled so i just choose not tow orry about it.



*and yea i felt really down about the car a week after i bought it and it had the leak....but after i got it fixed and you hit a nice road on nice weather and really drive the car fast and hug those tight corners like nothing else youve ever driven....oh does it ever make it worth the work!

ok so heres the update... so i still have yet to check the wastegate but am goin to do that right now... i got underneath of my car today and found that i seem to have oil coming out of my turbo... from prior knowledge and wat i have heard it sounds to me that my turbo is shot... if so does anybody know wat would be the best for me to go with without having to build my engine and such? i will update again after i take everything apart today...

do you mean you have oil on the underside of your turbo? if so then its not the seals but your return line is leaking its not the end of the world your turbo isnt bad.

 

[2.0t03speed]

do you have a boost gauge? if so please give me a vacume reading at idle

last thing i heard is he fixed his car and everything is good now. i think there was a crack in is intercooler piping. a member on the forums (sean22306) had his stock intercooler piping since he has hardpipes and gave them to nick (nkymsp) to put on. car runs great from what i hear

I am having the same issue and I have looked all over the piping, EGR(new), o2 sensors have been cleaned, and many other things have been done. I tested the diaphram in my WGA by blowing into it and it seemed fine. Is it possible that it could still be bad?

ya i did have a crack in my piping that took me forever to find... i found it and replaced it and it ran good for about 5 min. and then the prob. came back but was twice as bad... after looking over the car i noticed that there was a bolt at the bottom of the intercooler that was missing and allowing non stop boost to leak out... if your under the car looking at the back of the intercooler the bolt is right beside the cold pipe on the right of it... i replaced it and now she runs good idles good and no cut out. thats the prob. with our cars is that a million diff. things could go wrong and it would act the same way no matter whats wrong with it...lol you just gotta have patience and not give up on it.
