Hey everyone,

I finally got my laser back to get her after a somewhat build and reused my H1E. I didn't change anything as far as oil feed or drain and it was fine before. About two days ago I was driving to get some hIDs for the pop ups and my car stopped boosting.

After getting to the store to get my lights I popped the hood and noticed a line undone so I thought I found the no boost problem. Well reaching in to fix it I take off my intake pipe, and had my brother start the car to see if it would build boost and noticed the dam turbo isn't spinning. I get it home and take it all apart and the dam thrust collar broke.

I found a new 7 blade hx40 on ebay for 500 and noticed the area code was near me, so I gave the guy a call and he said I can pick it up for 450 and I convinced my wife to let me get it.

I get it yesterday and put it on today, started it about 4:10 pm pacific time and everything's perfect. I drive it to my wife's Nanas birthday party 35 miles away and it drives really good. I only have boost about 24 and it feels nice. Well I park for a while and. Install my headlights, then go to drive to get a red bull and it happened again, no boost.

Now what in the heck would cause me to sieze two new hx40 in less then three days apart? I am stressed out the game on this one because I just chucked out the money for the turbo, and the same day I got a good deal on some weld draglines 15x10 with MT 26x10.5x15 and couldn't pass it up. I am looking at the car now, it just happened a few minutes ago and I don't know where to start, I can't get a tow today so I have tonight to come up with a plan on what to do. I need a plan because I can't work on the car at home because I got to many complaints already, so when I do touch it it has to be planned out pretty good.

Please, any and all suggestions and help is more then highly appreciated. I really need to figure this out so I can have my car back.

Thanks for reading and god bless,

Anthony B.
