beat turbo

[DougEFresh]

hey guys ive been posting about a problem ive been having with the car not wanting to rev and bucking so finally i got a nice day to check it out. well i checked for a boost leak and didnt find one but i found that my turbo is shot it has very serious shaft play. when i pulled the brand new plugs that i just installed they are all fouled. so if the seals are blown do you guys think thats most likely the cause of the other issues.

Doesn't sound like the dead turbo and fouled plugs are related, unless the turbo is blowing so much oil into the intake that it fouled the plugs with oil (unlikely).

if i dont have a boost leak and i just put new plugs and wires in what else could cause the car not to rev up past 4-5000 rpm. the plugs were in there for maybe 20 miles and they were black with carbon the whole plug like the car is running super rich. the car wont even rev up if its sitting still and revving it. it revs higher but still starts studdering at 5-5500 rpm. need help please

my car did the same thing.. drove me crazy until i found out it was my computer... Id say try borrowing an ECU from a friend.

hope this helps!
