Had a smoke test done today...

tofu- · 05-30-2012, 07:34 PM

Had 4-5 different locations with leaks.

Meth bung, cold side fmic, both intake tubes (injen), and the pipe going from fmic hot side to chargepipe.

My logs didn't show peculiar wgdc prior to smoke testing, but it's such a simple process (just plug one intake and smoke the other, then reverse) that I figured I may as well do it. I'm glad i did.

I also suggest checking out the vac lines going from your brake booster line to the canisters, as well as the brake booster line itself (at all 3 junctions).

Where'd you get this done?

Bimmer100_ · 05-30-2012, 08:34 PM

Did you have any codes that pertained to the leaks?

We're the leaks fixed and does your car run better?

fixed the leaks and the car feels more torquey, but that could be placebo. it's nice knowing everything is sealed tight though.

Speaking of vacuum lines, check out my thread. One of my vac lines from the vac tanks failed....

yeah those were bad on my car too.

what's up with the rust on that bracket?

eh not sure, I sanded it off once but just came back. I may sand it again and just spray it with some clear.
