Ok i was going down the highway 70-75. I went to hit the throttle and nothing happened. Look at my boost gauge (stock) nothing. I was boosting fine before that. So i checked a few things out. Waste gate seems to move just fine but if this is the problem how would I know? Did a pressure test and only thing I heard was that damn 2g bov (pos) I have a greddy-s not in yet. Checked all ic piping and vaccumes about 10 f#@*in times. I even removed vacc off waste gate so it should boost like crazy, got nothing. Is my turbo shot? I dont see smoke and it drives fine exept for no boost. Any suggestions. Dam this blows :cry:
 
I took the intake off and the turbo spun fine no play. I have also heard that the blades could break off and it would still turn fine but wouldnt i see smoke or bucking?? If it is the turbo i want to be sure!
 
ok took it to my buds house today hes got a shop. We pulled the vacc off the waste gate and ran pressure to it and it opened and closed fine. (we also ran it while doing this to blow anything that could hold the w/g open out). Also took intake pipe off and checked turbo again with one of those little mirrors, spun fine no play. Talked to a couple people who said my w/g (the actual gate itself inside the turbo not the part you see) could be not closeing. Has anyone had this problem?? Im diein here guys :confused:
