Well, there could be an exhaust leak, or the intercooler could be leaking, either at the intercooler itself or one of the hoses to or from it.
That sounds like an open exhaust valve, which would be normal. The small cylinder would be the wastegate control solenoid, also normal.but the biggest flow was coming somewhere from between the turbo and the waste-gate. the air seemed to be coming from between where the gate mates with the turbo itself. is this a plausible location?
Seriously? You don't see how an exhaust leak can affect turbo power (turbo being driven by exhaust pressure)?hmm if those are both normal then it just might be an exhaust leak. but personally i dont understand how a leak on the exhaust side can reduce power
Assuming you're talking about a '90-'93 airbox, I don't think you can remove it, one side is molded right into the box and the other side is glued down.the blowout valve. does anyone know how to get it off the back of the airbox.
