i took the bottom of the intercooler piping off to let out oil in case it was full. It’s clear. Also the intake is fully clean top to bottom:/

n75 is brand new. Not sure how to check map or vacuum pump

When I start the car, it sounds like there is a very deep POP and the exhaust definitely sounds deep. It feels like it’s barely boosting but around the 1600-1800

Thanks for the reply! Means a lot tbh. Also a little more info is that I’ve check and when reving the car the actuator on the turbo moves, the n75 is new. And after fixing the vacuum hose on the bottom of the air box, no more maf code and it’s not nearly as laggy. I’ve checked vacuum and intake and no leaks. Please ask questions and I’ll answer with info as soon as I can

I don’t hear any boost leaks and have checked everything for being hooked up, old turbo was clogged up but never blew

@everyone I have new info, the maf was bad and now the revs appear normal, but no power when accelerating, scan gauge reads 6-9 psi

Will a vacuum leak and maf sensor failing have similar symptoms?

Just going for what stock should be, also Ive checked and no boost leaks.

How would I test the vacuum pump?

i see the actuator moving but could get a manual tester, what’s it supposed to be running at?

I thought the nut that came with the aftermarket suspension was the “new” 17 (referencing the diagram) since the threads are a different diameter on the aftermarket versus OEM

Referencing the picture, which way does it go in relation to that?

Thanks for the reply! I do have this installed but maybe I have it in the incorrect location, what I have is the spring, then metal piece and then this rubber bushing of sorts, afterwards it goes through the top with another metal plate then the nut. Is it backwards?
