So I was driving to eat tonight, on the way back home I stepped on it and the turbo didn't boost at all. I got home, popped the hood and saw that the blow off valve (that I "welded" in myself) popped off the intake pipe! Im going to get it welded on tomorrow, can this be the cause of why my car boosts 8spi around 5k rpm? I didn't see any cracks or anything on it before. What do you guys think?

Oh and also, why is there oil by the blow off valve, is this bad?You have been defeated by a car with child locks, how embarassing...

u would have heard the air leaking out the bov so no thats one of the last causes i would look for. If its alot of oil then u need to find out where it came from.
And u did a good job on welding that bov pipe on, I'm really surprised that happened. I'd just re-do it yourself cause u did a decent job IMO.Knowledge is power...in EVERY sense of the word

I think it came off because that solder I used it for HVAC copper pipe. I don't think it will hold very well if I did it again.You have been defeated by a car with child locks, how embarassing...

Do it right the first time or youll have problems later are you sure your motor didnt lean back and touch the bov i had that happen to a person when he made the piping to snug close up to the motor.Comment

Nah the BOV isn't anywhere close to the motor, I took it to a weld shop today and they welded it back on for me, runs good again. Thanks.You have been defeated by a car with child locks, how embarassing...
