broken turbo bolt cause loss hp?

[eclipsegsx97979]

could i be losing hp because the turbo only has 3 bolts holding it onto the manifold? i just had it fixed but havent driven the car since that yet... just curious cause i only ran 283.1 whp and maybe that was my prob... im hoping its nothing else.... im trying to figure out how to do a boost leak test...

Yes, that is your problem. Instead of the exhaust gasses spining the turbine wheel on your turbo, most of them are taking the easy way out: though the gap that there is inbetween your exhaust manifold and your turbo housing.

yep, that wouldn't help at all

just curious - you don't have an upgraded turbo listed in your mods. what are you making "only 283whp" with?
