Hello. Just bought an 05 mini cooper s 6 speed. Im getting code P1498 and an EML light. There's a boost gauge installed already and I'm,only getting 5lbs boost/ 10 vacuum. I'm thinking I have a leak somewhere? I read that the pipe from supercharger to TB could be the issue?
All the help I get is greatly appreciated. Thank you
My '05 had the same symptoms, EML + P1498. I fixed it by replacing the MAP sensor and its vacuum line, but it could be coming from a variety of places such as the green supercharger gasket. Also, smoke test is never bad idea.
