nickkrmr Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 my car feels like it isnt getting any strong boost from the turbo anymore, the turbo has no shaft play no smoke seems fine, no vacum leaks, but its not getting the power it used to , what could this be, i have an upgraded fuel pump, no cats, staright air filter no box, , i cant figure it out, i an hear the turbo spool up but i get no boost, theres some but very little, , any help would be very appreciated, thanks nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honorableogre25 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 something like that has happened to me, the little clip that was holding the wastegate actuator broke and it slipped off, would only do around 4 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasm2530 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Must be something with the wastegate Nick. I've never known of "the flap" burning through but hey, anything's possible. Actuator stuck open? Never heard of that either. Common for it to not open but that results in overboost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87star Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Pressure leak, somewhere downstream of the turbo to the throttle body you have a leak under pressure so it can't build boost. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Probably one of those things these guys said. Check wastegate, then check for air leaks in the boost tubes. (I know my friend had to replace the rubber connector for the ovcp-to-throttle body because it had a big rip in it, causeing problems.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
