991.2 Base Carrera BOOST LEAK
Hey guys,
looking for some help here... I have a 2017 911 Carrera and I'm experiencing a boost leak. Ive been doing some research and it seams as if I can just put a plug on one turbo inlet and roughly 20 psi on an adapter to the other turbo inlet and search for leaks? Is there something I'm missing to do? Do I have to plug anything else? I cant seem to find a straightforward answer. Thank you!

I’m running a Cobb tune, usual output on AP is around 25 psi on stage 1 tune, right now I’m only seeing a max of 12 psi. When I uninstall AP, stock will not see over 9psi, it should be around 13 psi.

You have to datalog with the AP to see 25 psi ( guage still only showed 18 on my GTS - poor ECU is being lied too).

Check your BPV. Ours came off. It started at an auto-x event with a whistle and eventually popped off completely. Clamp was on, but it either wasn't tight or wasn't seated completely.

If you can't track it down yourself take it to the dealer - if you run like this for too long you may start to run very lean and start generating knock if pushed on.
Pay to play and all that👍

^ This. If there's a boost leak at stock boost levels, that should be covered under warranty. With the Magnuson-Moss act the burden of proof lies with the dealer in regards to the modifications being the cause. Some dealers will dealers will try the blame game off the bat so they don't have to perform the warranty work, but will change their tune once you mention the Magnuson-Moss act. Any dealer that's worth a damn and enthusiast friendly (and/or track support) won't give you a hard time at all.

What I meant was that you still have a warranty that covers the rest of the car. Boost related problems may or not be covered. True the MM act requires them to prove it, but who wants to front the cost of an attorney to fight the issue?
