I was driving around and I noticed I wasn't showing anything on the stock boost gauge when I accelerated. I can't feel the pull I use to feel when I floor it, and my car sounds like and NA. :cry: The car drives but I don't know what happened to my turbo. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

someone stole your turbo!!!!!!!!! damn that sux :rolleyes:



check your turbo for shaft play and if its smoking...

also check your vaccum lines... maybe you have a HUGE leak or something


I've heard of the exhaust side of the turbo getting f*ked up enough so basically the exhaust air couldn't push them basically turning the car to a POS NA.... but its just hearsay on random websites... not for DSM's specfically

Forget the stock gauge, what does your avcr say? Can you hear the turbo spool? Three posibilities I can think of:

1. Dead turbo.
2. Bad actuator.
3. "Huge" boost leak.
 
Make sure the actuator arm is still connected to the flapper of the wg. There is a cotter pin in there that likes to rot out and then the arm can slip off.
