So water is getting in through my boot through a small hole under the shelf in the rear close to the computers on the driver side. It's not leaking through the wing holes or the lights or the boot weather stripping. I can hose down the car or wash it and it doesn't leak but the minute it rains it leaks which makes it super hard to track down. Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

Water comes in when the car is still parked in any orientation. I think it might be coming in through the plastic threaded screw holes that hold the rear windscreen molding down. Ive soaked the car with a hose on multiple occasions but it did not leak. The second it rains it leaks. Its wierd.

pull the boot weather strip off if you haven't already.

Check the rubber and where it joins. Reseal when you put it back on.

Inspect rear quarter windows

Pull the rear lights off and reseal

Remove rear wiper, check rubber and reseal

Make sure it doesn't have a leak in the hose to the squirter (as this is a gotcha for the un-initiated)

Use silastic/silicone when putting parts back in.

You can do the "clean it all and dust with talcum powder and see where the talcum powder is wet" trick.

I would much prefer to pressurise the whole car with smoke. If you do that please post a photo!

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
