Well at least I did routine maintenance on the CA. I even went through like 894 page Service manual for the CA18DET, well not all of it. Even called Kevin last night to bring over a coilpack (Nismo1182),changed it this morning and still had problems. "The stuttering and hesistation at 4k rpm. Everyone kept saying check for boost leaks but I swore didn't have any. Well never ever use that plumbing hose flemsy crap from the hardware store, it blows up like a damn balloon and I guess after so much heat and boost it tore apart right between where the clamp was. I went to NAPA this morning and picked up a foot of this tough thick rubber hose (like intercooler hose) took it out for an even further test drive and bam no more problems.
:ylsuper :ylsuper
It was a boost leak!!!

I have that same ****, it's that black intake stuff for old trucks am i right? Yeah it does blow up like a baloon for me lol, can you show us pictures of the pipe you have? See I can't get a pipe to fit because i have an SR Intercooler and SR intercooler piping. So that intake manifold to sr cold pipe is where im SOL.
