Sigh...doin some regular wrenching and pulled a log. Looks GREAT, except I'm low on boost. By quite a bit. Felt a bit slow, but I've got traction problems so when I get a slow feeling pull I just generally write that off as another $10 of rubber left on the road.
But I'm 6psi low and my WG DC is screaming. Shit.
Do a boost leak test...the valve cover is split in half. Not cracked like normal...but straight up split wide open like a hooker at a bachelor party.
So now I have to stop all my DCT testing and replace a valve cover. I luckily have one sitting here...because N54 life. But it is the time loss that is the heart breaker.
This is my last spare factory VC, after this one splits I'll get a fancy one. Maybe have something engraved on it like "here lies my retirement savings" or something catchy.
