Boost leak?

 

[nick]

no leak

How do you know that you don't have any boost leaks, did you actually run a boost leak test? That would be the first thing I would do, along with checking the turbo for shaft play.

Heres a link to making a boost leak tester:

i did a bost check and there is no play on the shaft ..

Sounds like a major boost leak to me.......

does the turbo spin?

if you actually did a boost leak test and you actually have no shaft play then theres no reason at all for your car to not boost. It must be possesed so you'll need to do an exorcism

How high did you pressurize it, were you using a compressor or a tank, how long did it hold boost?

Deffinately a boost leak
shaftplay has nothing to do with having a boost leak

Check to make sure the actuator arm is still connected to the wastegate arm. Also, pressurize the actuator and see if it moving correctly.

i think u might have had a lil bit of boost creep maybe and at rev your car shouldnt hit 10 psi any ways if u reved it that high to make 10 psi u probably did a bad nono!
