doesnt that go to the cycling valve? the cylcling valve might have been deleted when the chips were installed and a manual boost controller was installed

it has a manual boost controller but its not installed. the guy told me it was boosting 17 psi

Take some more detailed pictures of the engine and interior. Looks like you may have some sort of aftermarket waste gate (deletion of the CV usually indicates this). The wastegate is located beneath the car on the pasenger side connected to the crossover, you can't miss it.

How are you measuring boost? If you pull the DME you can find out what kind of chips you have. It's in front of the passengers feet behind a piece of wood.

ok i will take pics tomarrow. i dont know what you mean by measuring boost. the boost gauge under the speedo?

Darwantae951

By measuring boost, I mean do you have another boost guage besides the stock one. The stock gauge below the tach is not very accurate and if you're modified, it'd be a good idea to get another one. Here's how mine is mounted:

for what it's worth, the color code is in the engine bay

MooreBoost

what do you mean?

Darwantae951

Depending on how it was taken care of by the PO, and how modifications were implemented, you could be in for a real headache. If things were done the right way, looks like you got a good deal.

Don't mean to scare you away so quickly!

Should have bought my car.

MooreBoost

why should i have bought your car?

i work at german motorkraft in colorado springs so parts and labor arent expensive. i think the po just put a chip in. the only major things the car needs are paint, brakes and tires. so im not too scared about the car. but ive only had the car for a week so there might be more probs. we shell see.

MooreBoost

oh and the car came with a lot of extra parts that i dont have room for. so if anyone needs anything let me know.
