    Just picked my car up from the dealership. They replaced the hardline into the turbo along with cylinder 2 injector. So I start driving and notice my boost gauge is not working. Turns out two hoses that goto the t were not connected. Connect those things are working.

    I drive for a bit and notice some smoking coming out of the scoop again but smells like coolant.
    Question 1. - are there any coolant lines under or in front of the big hose to the sti tmic?
    I am hearing boiling and see smoke.

    Question 2 - replacing the hardline should not affect my tune?


    Reason I am asking is my boost sucks. Not seeing over 12psi. And am back firing like crazy. When the car arrived I was peaking at 19 and no backfire.

    Ideas ?

    How much and how hard did you drive it with out the hoses hooked up?



    There are coolant lines that run to the throttle body so maybe one of them is leaking.

    Not to hard since it was raining cats and dogs. I got on it a few times and noticed boost was crap and that i was back firing by 5K on the tach. I checked my coolant level and it is down to the L. I haven't pulled injectors before but I am guessing they are in that general area where the lines are. I am seeing the coolant on the block down between the red crinkle pipes. Goin to show up at the dealership early and waiting.
