So now my boost problems are back fml.
Im gonna replace the restrictor pill again back to stock then start hunting for the leak....it sounds like air flowing out of something....im gonna also replace the air filter with a stock unit instead of parts plus.
The problem is affecting my boost again. I wonder if my manifolds or uppipe is leaking somewhere......
Got some troubleshooting work ahead of me.

Negative. When I first bought my car it was coding and running rough. They ended up replacing the turbo oil feed solenoids and cleaned the banjo screens.
It runs fine with no sound besides the spooling when not in boost. But as soon as I hit 3k rpm and even 1psi of boost it hisses and sounds really bad. And now my boost spiking is back after replacing the pill made it go away. Now the grimmspeed downpipe is on and it drived like **** lol.

I dont think I would use it on my car tho.
If anything I would drop the pan, change the pickup tube and clean the pan. Then maybe use the oil flush/ cleaner next change. Dont want big gobs of crud making it past the pickup tube strainer.
Theres only one cleaner ive seen that stays in the engine until next oil change and thays auto rx.

It literally eats carbon. I actually have a sneaky suspicion it's basically 100% ethanol, but I can't really confirm that.

Hmmm. well I dont mean thicken up the oil I mean it dislodges a big chunk of gunk and it gets sent somewhere to destroy the engine lol. I would love to do a motor flush with seafoam next oil change but im kinda nervous.
