Update: I may still have c-surge turbo damage. Help appreciated.

I couldn't get back on DSMtuners lately after my previous thread right here, I was hella busy with college for the past weeks, sorry. But now i'm free.

I did the crank walk test u guys mentioned at the end of my 1st thread, the results came back negative. I knew my car didn't have crank walk. The clicking noise while holding in the clutch is the thrust bearing, i'm 90% sure. I can take care of that. There is still a clacking noise while revving up to 2.5 RPM coming from my intake manifold, hard to describe but i'll try get a video up soon. Well enough of that, now on to my turbo...

I have shown pics, good condition. I have a little in-out play, no side to side. Blades are razor sharp. But is it me or sometimes when I drive, I don't hear the spooling noise of my turbo charging up before it spits out from the BOV. Although I may be wrong, I may just be paranoid. I recently heard if my friend and I put on the throttle body gasket incorrectly, it may actually be causing a leak, not allowing the car to run correctly.

Finally, there is an annoying problem. In 3rd gear or so, if I run my car hard, it seems like the car starts stuttering and jerking back and fourth a lil as it's gaining speed, almost like it's struggling to gain RPM. Happens often, not every time. What is that? It's annoying as **** and bothers the hell outta me.


Off-topic stuff: On this site a few days ago, I searched "totaled" just for the hell of it. I came across a few threads. One was about this guy that had a wreck with his wife's spyder and had to start over with a new plan. Make a Spyder GSX with the 4G64 2.4L (I think). Once he finished the project (swapping drivetrain, etc), a garbage truck drove by and literally crushed his rare car (less than 10 in the world I believe), pics and all. That's just crazy as hell, .

Hey man you got a boost leak. you can read up on how to do it with the search button. Its easy to do and you can make your own tester for about ten dollars Check that TB gasket for sure.That knock-off BOV isnt helping your compressor surge.

Damn, that's good to know. Hmm, boost leak... That may be why i'm experiencing the stutter while trying to floor my car in 3rd gear, that and it may also be the reason why my car doesn't feel like it's running the way it should.

Thanx dawg. Is there anyway I can give karma points or something on this site? I don't know how to do so (that's if u can on here), I gotta give ups to u and the people which helped me out in the previous thread.

Yea, that knock off BOV isn't helping at all, but someone told me it's probably worth $250 (well says a site where I posted a pic from, it features a BOV that looks just like mine priced at $250). Never know, garbage can actually be treasure.

There is a recommendation points system. check it out. A boost leak will majorly affect performance and will do exactly what you describedGood luck
