o nooo craig broke something., ahahahaha 5sfte Options

lol so coming home on the freeway giving it gas something said "no more" on my 5sfte. I dont think its block/engine related but instead something directly related to exhaust gases or manifold pressure i.e. turbo turbine or egr valve.

so heres the symptoms:

1 ticking noise kinda sounds like a mountain bike going foward but with the pedals not moving.

2 noise only happens on -40 ish kpa any thing less then that it wont tick

3 noise is not dependent on rpm and stays pretty steady all the way through the rmp range if the manifold pressure is above -40 kpa

beacause of these things i think it has something to do with something related to the exhaust gasses that are coming out of the engine. At first while driving i figured maybe my turbo turbine got old and finally said bye bye. but checking my gauges i still was able to attain full boost pressure with out lag. No smoke from bad turbo seals leaking water or oil.

When i got to my house i poped the hood and reved the engine a little and noted that it sounded like the noise was kinda coming from the intake maniflold area which is where the egr vavle and modulater are. I just changed the modulator cus the nipples broke off, but the egr valve is still stock.

tmw im guna c if i can run the vac lines to keep the egr on all the time and c if the noise is more constant.

yup very close i checked it today in the light and it was the hoses from the bottom of the egr modulator and the egr valve that came off.

that was exactly what i was talking about.
both I and vin(shin) have had that happen...sounds scary when it happens under full boost!!
haha

yes it does i thought something really bad happened. truth be told tho i was kinda guna use it as an excuse to save money and get a 3sgte lol but o well im keeping the 5sfte for as long as i can.

btw good luck with the e manage system hope it works well cus i might try that too.
