for anyone that hasn't followed my other threads I having huge problems after an install from Lindsey racing. If anyone can help Id greatly appreciate it.
I bought a LR 340 hp kit and a few other things like 3 inch downpipe, 61 turbo with P trim and plugs wires etc.

after install, After other "shipping" and "backorder" problems, one issue after the next, I started it up and began having issues,

Long story short, it was a defective MAF
3 weeks later I get a replacement. car starts and ran fine, until I realize how rich its running.... its untenable to where leaning out the map actually made it worse SO I did a pressure test on the intake,

at first I didn't think I had any leaks until I realize it was leaking so bad that I didn't even hear it with the slight background noise.

The leak? at the back of the turbo cold side......obviously this isn't normal. what do I do, Ive had so many damn issues with them that I feel when I call Monday they are going to think im just sabotaging their parts. has anyone else had an issue with the super 61? I was told I had to wait for them to put it together so its not like it was sitting on the shelf for 10 years

ive spent over 5k and endless hours, not only on the installs but even more hours in trying to pinpoint these problems than it actually took me to put everything together, not to mention the bill I will be getting from the shop after I gave up when the MAF was defective.

anyone have anything here????

Perhaps a bad batch of housings? Sounds like you have had a hard time, but see what happens after contacting lr again.

They should got you squared away. I have been dealing with Lindsey for many years and have always made good.

I'm sure they will sort you out in the end. I have been unlucky with some parts from them, but they have been very willing to help sorting things out, even more than one can expect from, for me, an overseas vendor.

I would do your pressure test AFTER the turbo. It's possible that the housing leak is just the biggest and preventing you from finding the other leaks.

I managed to reach 2 of the bolts on the compressor side and tighten them a bit, it is now holding pressure, i plugged the boost pipe so I could narrow it down to the turbo bc I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, hopefully the bottom 2 as well as the exhaust side are tight bc I can't reach them while it's in the car. I'm going to do another pressure test this evening of the whole system now that the turbo isn't leaking

Ive used LR for many years, both on my 924S and 951, Great group and then seem to always make right with any issues Ive ever had or anyone else I know, Give them a chance and see how it goes.

yea im not saying they aren't good, so far they have handled all the issues, I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I always give people a chance, not downing them at all at this point

I've found these flexing ratche wrenches to be absolutely invaluble when working on my 951. When combined with the socket adaptors you can reach almost anywhere. I'm not sure they will help you get to the bottom nuts on the housing (I have the engine on a stand) but if anything will reach these will.

Interesting, thanks
