Well.......
That was funny.
No sooner do Steve and I get linked up, the Monster all hot and bothered, and set out for our remote session to get him all happy, and tuned in boosty town...do I hear a pssh noise like escaping air.
I tell Steve that I hear a noise something like the blowoff valve makes, only it happened while my foot was on the gas, instead of off...
I go through a series of slow tip in's of the throttle, and I can hear the turbo spool, but he can't see the engine go into positive pressure, I can't feel it, and there is no tell tale blow off valve noise when I lift.
The car is running beautifully, but it ain't making no boost.
Whatdya spose could be the problem??
I tell Steve that I'm gonna look and see if a hose has blown off....so I pull over and pop the hood..the hoses are all on, and the lines are secure.
It's the glass that ain't feeling so well...
The windshield ribbon didn't survive one single exposure to positive pressure. Not only did it spooge out in several places, but it literally lifted the glass completely off the base...effectively ending my tuning session with Mr. Steve today.
While the thing was hot, and loose, I took advantage of the situation though....
I'm gonna use the right stuff as a sealant. And let that junk dry . As hard as it was to get the old intake and valve cover off this last time...I'm confident it'll hold the glass.
Oh,....and there's this...
2000 degrees my ass...it didn't even make it through one measly road trip....
Junk.
