Does this pipe look split?

[ajpturbo]

, I can say that when I had the pipe off, I was able to push the factory hard plastic piping into and out of the rubber coupler slightly, but it still looked sealed

I dont think it should move..and i know you said the turbo was replaced and thats why its oily but at that ring it looks oily and dust is sticking

Your wastegate duty can and will go to 100 when spooling and desires tip is higher than actual but you need to look at your log in your multigear pull at 5000 rpm and up...the wastegate duty takes off and boost drops....look at map. You should have no problem maintaining 14 psi at your elevation...you should only see map drop 10 kpa at most from 5k to 6k and yours drops 20 i think...look at 3rd gear not others

You know what the fix is.... Come to the dark side...

CC still recovering from downpipes last week LOL

 

[jbeez]

For any of you who had the oem pipes cause a boost leak, where did it fail? Is that coupler the most common spot?

Here is a member who had the same identical issue as your's and it's very common for the charge pipe to split there due to excessive heat which primarily is found by the rear/back of the engine.
The front turbo hose is another weak point vulnerable to the elements. Z

Look at the orange rubber on the inside of blow off valves, they've been known to tear apart.

Took off both BOVs, rings looked good, maybe the rear had some oil under it. Ill have to inspect it again tomorrow and get some good pics

How can i safely clean the green seal on the bov? Can I take it off the bov and wipe it down with something? Can I test these factory BOVs somehow?

The seal is very(fragile)especially the orange/red Diaphragm/plunger which they DO NOT sell separately.
I would inspect for any rips or tears and clean it gently with a moist shop towel while avoiding any harsh chemicals and you should be fine. Z

 

[jbeez]

This is a bit maddening without the right tools to test. I just took more pipes off, checked connections.

Is the TB supposed to be lined up the way it is to the upper intake?

Had a bunch of oil under the TB hose, picture of bottom of that hose attached with throttle blade in the background

Yeah the T/B looks like its aligned well.  Z
It might be a good time to clean the CAC(Intercooler).

 

[jbeez]

I tried while i had that pipe off, but apparently my pump is busted so ill need to do that another time

FWIW there is another hose worth mentioning highlighted in blue and just make sure the hose clamp is on tight. Z

Just ordered some hot pipes with tial BOV, still contacting the dealer tho to check it out. Figure ill need these anyway even if they fix it. Won't have to worry about the stock pipes

Dealer can't see me until next Tuesday, August is always busy there for whatever reason

Blah.

 

[ZSHO]

I was curious to know based on www.ecopowerparts.com if the Tial BOV spring rate has changed from an -8psi spring which is currently on my SHO to -10 psi spring. TIA. Z

The spring pressure is related to vacuum not boost. The 10 psi spring is for -16 to -19 inHg which is what I verfied on my car and many others.
I've had one person have an issue with the 10 psi spring but I think he's got a boost leak.

Took some pics today under the car since i had a little time. I tried to actuate the wastegates by hand and I don't think they were moving at all. It was pretty hard to get my hand in there. The rod is supposed to move in and out of the wastegate right?

Got some pics of front turbo, looks dry, felt around Everything seems secure.

Pics of back turbo, that inlet pipe looks weird, hard for me to tell if its seated all the way on there

HN18 CHECK TURBOCHARGER WASTEGATE ACTUATOR OPERATION
NOTICE: Do not exceed 103.4 kPa (15psi) of pressure applied to the turbocharger actuators, excessive pressure will damage actuators.

Note: If the pressure bleeds off quickly while carrying out this test, find and repair the leak and retest the vehicle to verify that the initial concern is still present before continuing with this step.

Disconnect the turbocharger high pressure supply hose from the turbocharger (TC) wastegate regulating valve solenoid.
Using a suitable hand pump with pressure gauge, pressurize the TC wastegate regulating valve solenoid to 48.3 kPa (7 psi).
Ignition ON, engine OFF.
Access the PCM and control the TURBO_WGATE (PER) PID.
Command the turbocharger (TC) wastegate regulating valve solenoid duty cycle from 0% to 100%.
Ignition OFF.

Did the pressure drop when the duty cycle was commanded to 100%?
Yes
GO to HN21 . 
No
INSTALL a new TC Wastegate Regulating Valve solenoid. Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. 

=============================

HN22 CHECK TURBOCHARGER WASTEGATE ACTUATOR OPERATION
NOTICE: Do not exceed 103.4 kPa (15psi) of pressure applied to the turbocharger actuators, excessive pressure will damage actuators.
Note: If the pressure bleeds off quickly while carrying out this test, find and repair the leak and retest the vehicle to verify that the initial concern is still present before continuing with this step.
• Disconnect the turbocharger wastegate control hose from the turbocharger (TC) wastegate regulating valve solenoid.
• Record each of the turbocharger wastegate actuator linkage positions.
• Using a suitable hand pump with pressure gauge, pressurize the turbocharger wastegate actuator hoses to 48.3 kPa (7 psi).

Did each turbocharger wastegate actuator linkage move from the starting position?
Yes
GO to HN24 .
No
GO to HN23 .

@ jbeez notice anything on the 3rd Pic!!. Hose looks split IMO.
BTW Excellent Info from SHOdded ^^. Z

problem I have is, I have no idea what a "good" one looks like from that angle under the car. I can't visualize how that is supposed to sit. To me its crooked, but IDK if its supposed to go on at an angle with that clamp.

Also this is the one they just replaced in may! Maybe they didn't put it back together right? IDK.
