basically found where the boost is leaking on my car, from the Inlet manifold,

because i dont have a seal in it. Apparently its the seal from inside the Standard airbox connection but there isnt one on my old Airbox.

So if anyone has one hanging about or they don't need i'd be more than greatful.

Stav

u mean where the U shaped cast aluminium pipe connects to the throttle body??

which one is it you need stav i cant think but i have my tte airbox fitted but its not in use its just for show

The Top Gasket bit from this drawing.

Stav

Ok i got you now i used that before i put on my piping from IC. sorry

I didnt thats the problem.

Need one to put in.

Stav

TTE? could you not go to a breakers and get one?

get one from any dealers or a scrap place - im very surprised u are getting any boost levels if the gasket is missing as its quite a big seal.

Its always been missing and so i'm desperate to get one to get the car working properly for the first time!

Stav

Can't help you find one mate but I'm glad you found the source of your problems. Hopefully sourcing this part will get your car up to the power it should be!

Well just turned over my shed and still no joy.

Please anyone.

Anyone with a NA IS200 and an induction kit?

Stav

If you've lived with it since the install why not wait till Monday and order one from Lexus?

I'm sure i will but i was seeing if anyone on here had one first and its just annoying knowing thats holding me back.

Stav

gonna make sure ive got my seal on now as i cant remeber if i put it on when i installed my s/c

Well the good news is.
Had a proper clean out of the shed today and found it right in the corner of the shed on the floor!!!

All installed now and finally i have the boost i should do!!!

Thanks to everyone for help.

MODS PLEASE CLOSE.

Stav

i still cant believe you were getting any boost or at least just short of the normal pressure - would be interesting to see if this cures the small pressure loss- u will have to let me know if it works out - remember to do the difference between ambient when engine is not running and when ur at max RPM.

It is working Rob

My boost gauge now peaks at just a tad over .3 whereas before it was just reaching .2

stav

Thats good news Stav

ah right - i thought u were getting close to standard pressure last time we had a chat! get the obd on and get a more accurate figure to see if there is still a small leak somewhere.

No Rob, was never managing over .2 bar,

Problem is with the obd rader it wont give me an accurate figue.

It will upto .24bar but then the TTE black box gives the false figure so it wont go any higher,

Stav

ill have to try it on mine again and see what figure it gives- think mine was over that...? - ill let u know anyway and hope this little seal has helped u to get the most out of the kit.

The boost reading shouldnt go over 18.04 ish.

Thats the false reading given by the Chip.

Stav

Good news Stav

Is it the little rubber thing we are talking about as I have taken mine off for my induction kit am I wrong in doing this?

Chris you'll be ok mate its a seal for the airbox, the induction kit doesn't use it as it fits in the seals place?

Thats correct thats why mine was lost, cause i took it off to fit the induction kit then didnt refit it when i fitted the charger.

So it got lost in my shed.

Stav

Hows it running Stav does it feel any better with it fitted?

Its feels so much better,

My BOV makes more noise now and its great seeing the boost gauge go right upto .3. The car does feel quicker as well.

Need to RR it really.

Stav

thats good then matey Like you say a RR would be good now just to see if you have got some of the bhp back and see how much difference its made by fitting it ?

Oh yes I see m8 thanks for that lol..
