Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

are you saying your running the turbo on the car but not hooked up to the charge pipes, cuase i hope u know the turbo will overwind and seize up by doing that

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

naw all the piping is on...but i don't have a downpipe...the ic piping is on...i just don't have a bov right now...well i have a turbo xs one but its no put on yet...

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

oh ok, yea im running open downpipe, just 6 inchs on downpipw cuase i didnt want to have no downpipe after the install.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

well i hooked everything up and i turned my boost controller up over and over till it was at like 30...and nothing...the shop told me i can't boost untill i get a downpipe put on the turbo...i dunno...first kit i've done

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

what kind of turbo/wastegate/etc are you using.

the charge pipes are solid right, no leaks, good clamps...no hole already there for the bov or anything?

downpipe or not you should be able to see positive pressure if the piping from turbo to throttle body is air tight.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

more then likley ur wastegate flapper is wide open, that happened to me and i closed it up and instant boost baby

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

werd...fook i have the hold for the bov i just don't have the bov on it yet...so i can boost without the downpipe if i close the hole for the bov?

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

yes, a hole in your charge piping is a huge leak. you'll never see boost with that hole open.

Re: just turbo'd my 94 dx
 

ight cool...now i need to find a way to close it for 2 days...can i push the amount of boost i want with no downpipe?
