D16 turbo problems!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: D16 turbo problems!!!!!!!!!!!
well the wastegate is internal and it works fine, when i put the turbo in last night we had boost, but the controller wasnt hooked up right so it was spiking to like 15psi i parked it and worked all day and fixed the controller so i was actually hooked to a vacuum line like it shoulda been and now we have no boost. i even hooked the wastegate straight to a vacuum line to get just stock boost or whatever and still got nothing....there isnt really much in terms for a downpipe it kinda just dumps under the oil pan for right now, i know dsm turbos need back pressure but it should still be spooling?! should it not?

I would check your charge piping connectors for any holes because i had a connector near metal and it blew it out and the hole was facing the grouns and i couldnt see it i had to feel for it.

those dsm internal wastegates have the habit of sticking open, smack the flapper arm with a hammer and make sure its closed all the way. the spikes probably fucked it around like a virgin and stiuck it open. its most likely that.
two reasons you would suddenly not build boost anymore... 1st is wastegate open, 2nd is a compressor side boost leak. (popped charge pipe, leaky bov, torn coupler) make sure you check your pipes and stuff too, those high boost spikes coulda popped a pipe.
