dsm problems....
 

i have a problem...i swapped out the 13g on my talon to a 14b...now when i drive it it idles fine....no problems, no cel's just doesnt boost at all....ive checked all the i/c pipes and everything is fine...its like something is holding it back, i got the turbo from the guy that i bought the car from, no shaft play and the wheel would spin freely by hand? any ideas what it could be?

Re:dsm problems....
 

check the wastegate flapper

Re:dsm problems....
 

even if the flapper was open it still should boost something right...may gauge, which btw is the stock useless gauge on the dash(for now) goes to 0psi a little above...where as with the 13g it would jump to 14+?

Re:dsm problems....
 

if the flapper is closed it will generate 0 boost... no matter how hard u try. not even barely 1... close the flapper arm and check the wastegate to make sure its holding it closed...

Re:dsm problems....
 

mmm...that doesnt make sense....if the gate was closed then wouldnt it creep like hell?

Re:dsm problems....
 

lol, the first part is backwards

Re:dsm problems....
 

yea, i had to read it twice....but the gate is as shut as can be....same problem.,...i changed the o2 sensor as well, but that really has nothign to do with it not boosting

Re:dsm problems....
 

ummm, it runs fine other than that?..not missing or anything? is it leaking exhaust right b4 the turbo?

Re:dsm problems....
 

no runs perfect...slow as piss...no boost...no leaks...just doesnt boost..i think i got myself a crapped out turbo

check to see if the gasket betweeb the compressor housing and the center section is good or is there at all. you'll have to remove the compressor housing.
