Anyone know of any good muffler shops around that don't charge an arm and a leg for service? Looking to get a new midpipe without a resonator in it or a relatively smaller one. I would have them use my current mid pipe but the flex joint has a small hole in it.
Thanks!

If not it could be your plugs, injectors or bad gas. Can you pull a learning view? |

ok it is DEFF OIL. The L hose needs to be replaced along with the MAF hose there just worn down i hope that explains my oil leak now for these darn misfire codes.

Get the intake leak issues fixed ASAP. The pre-turbo leaks are hard to track down sometimes, but they will make the car run lean.

@jaun no the exhaust doesnt smoke at all. i havent checked the oil cap yet but i will if you guys want to get together and help me scope out everything that would be awesome!! do beer n burgers at someones place.
@340duster i will i plan on getting the L hose first because of my lack of funds im gonna call some junkyards and see if they have it for cheap untill the one comes in from boxer4. do you guys think after the hoses get replaced itll help fix the misfires? |

If you have a boost leak (after the turbo) the car basically won't run at all when it boosts. Do you know who tuned the car?

I thought post turbo leaks (exhaust leaks) were not detrimental to the car and pre turbo leaks would cause maf issues which are bad for the car since metered air is not correctly being measured.

A pre turbo exhaust leak will just keep you from hitting target boost, and make your car smell like exhaust. |

The stock hard oil feed line to the turbo is known to get a hairline crack in them. I had to replace mine with a SS line about a month ago because of the crack. So, the oil leak may be coming from that area.

That feed line is a bugger, mine cracked on me twice. First time was a quick braise job, 2nd time I braised that thing real gooooood. If it is cracked you'll see oil pooling up on the center section of the turbo and it will smoke constantly out of the hood scoop.
I'm no expert but I'm happy to look at it if you need another set of eyes on it. |

Went great!! The guys at ML do amazing work. 320 HP and 340 ish Torque I think? Been a couple weeks since I picked it up. The car had weird boost spike before which they fixed and the car feels a lot more reliable. They even heard an exhaust leak and fixed it with a new gasket to the midpipe without me asking for free.
