    exhaust leak...Fuel consumption

    I have a exhaust leak from the turbo to elbow gasket.

    Would this cause my sr20det to have bad fuel consumption due to throwing out the readings on the lambda sensor?

    Thanks lee

    Exhaust leaks cause all sorts of issues like this, mind and check for pre turbo boost leaks as well as they will really mess up fuel consumption.

    I can see myself having a boost leak as I have the high mount kit from Japspeed consisting of 2 bits of piping and 4 short silicone hose fixings all of which are extremely tight And not going anywhere

    If you aint pressure tested it then you simply do not know, always check.
