Help! Svc intercooler, turbosmart bov, bbk black 73mm throttle body and full race throttle body spacer

[wes127]

So I probably should not have done this myself but didn’t seem like too hard of a job, after seeing peoples reviews and reading threads on here.
I put on an Svc intercooler, turbosmart bov, bbk black 73mm throttle body and full race throttle body spacer.
My truck is now throwing a check engine light and after a short drive to test it’s now not creating boost.

Any info and help would be amazing!

Hard to know w/out the exact codes triggering the MIL. DO you have a code reader?

Could it be related to the curtain motor?

Going to grab a code reader today and see what’s the issue is.

What’s a curtain motor?

SVC did my install but I know there a curtain motor that opens and closes the curtains in front of the radiator (removed for intercooler install) and these can sometimes cause a “blocked “ code of some sort.

I’m not sure if that motor needs to stay or go. Maybe someone else will chime in

If you are getting no boost then either a intercooler pipe, the bov is most likely to blame. recheck all hose connections. The bov is in the svc intercooler which isn’t easy to get to but double check that as well.

Thank you. I have the front end still apart to be able to figure this out. Do you have any experience with the bbk throttle body? I’m wondering it that could be it.

Thank you. I’ll have to look into it. In the instructions from svc it doesn’t say anything needs to be done with that connector..
there are a few connectors that just get zip tied up out of the way..

Code reader is bringing up a P0073 and P2282

P0073 Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit High input

P2282 engine control module (ECM) monitoring the vacuum in the intake manifold at idle

Any clue what those could be from?

You said you have a TB spacer? Seems that could be the culprit.
