not boosting, dieing when shifting gears

[2GEEZEY]

the other day I was driving home when I heard a little pop noise then it had like no power. I have a exhaust leak out of the o2 housing due to a broken bolt. after driving it hear a tick or a knocking noise coming from the engine. could the turbo have blew? its a 14b.

maybe a coupler blew off... check that first... and about the knocking noise.. beats me..!!!!

Sounds like an intercooler pipe coupler came apart to me too. Take a good look and if you still can't find anything you'll have to do a boost leak test. Good luck.

Take your intake off and check for shaft play. Is it still making the noise?

^This...seems like this thread should be in the newbie section huh?

What about a knocking noise coming from the engine makes you think you have a blown turbo? And ya you probably popped a coupler off, or if its a cheap one like my old ones you might have popped a hole in it... Take a look at that first then go from there.

I'm not a noob? obviously its not a coupler I would have checked that first. I have a really bad rod knock I've concluded

Drop the oil pan and check

okay i need some help, i get this loud " rod knocking" noise only around 2k to 3k, thats when it starts. NOT at idle? could this be a rod? way to loud to be lifters. still no power when i drive it, although, it blows off, but wants to die right away.

Yes.
Now pull the oil pan and find out.

99.9% its rod knock.. pull that pan off.

 

[2GEEZEY]

yeah thats what im thinking, going to pull the pan tomarrow, no time studying for finals...
but if it is a rod knock its a damn loud one

 

[yepes281]

For some hope....

Try tightening your exhaust studs, could be an exhaust leak

 

[98mitsubishigst]

[2GEEZEY]

This is really weird, because my turbo blew then I swapped a new one on, and I spun a bearing as well
