Re: bad turbo? OR not..
ok here what i got..got a XSP turbo yesterday new and put it on..which the old one the seals were shot, noticed once i removed it..so its getting sent to Blaast..but i have the SAME problem!! so its not the turbo..dammit..ive got no boost leaks-the piping has been completely redone..i have one small exhaust leak where the downpipe meets the midpipe-very small-would that do it? no fuel leaks, timing hasnt changed. ive changed plugs, wires, fuel filter, distributor car and rotor button..hell if i know what it is..it runs GREAT in vaccuum, still pulls like a b16 should..as soon as boost hits-nothing..just friggin slow as hell..read the first post if you havent already..it describes the problems too...i just dont get it..anyone got any ideas?

Sounds like you have timing problems in the boost range. Or maybe a glitchy map sensor.

hhmm..fixed an exhaust leak..and played around with the distributor timing..got it to pull like a raped ape again...so i dont know which it was, leak or timing. dont understand why timing would be a sudden issue if it hadnt changed..weird..run fine one day then like ---- the next day without moving timing...possessed..now she likes to overheat somewhat..thermostat is next on my list.
