Re:My car is not boosting HELP!
 

I will check the wastegate but how can I check to see if the boost guage is the prob?

wastegate problem ...yo

or just get a new boost guage...

do you hear the turbo spool at all

Re:My car is not boosting HELP!
 

Yeah the turbo spools but it doesn't boost.

Re:My car is not boosting HELP!
 

Try using another boost gauge. But that shouldn't be the problem. They arn't bad from the factory too often.

I would think that the wastegate is stuck open. look into the eshaust side and see if it is sealed. Try to pull the WG arm, it should be pretty hard. 8psi is even pretty hard.

where is the boost gauge connected at

Re:My car is not boosting HELP!
 

can you FEEL anyboost?.

Re:My car is not boosting HELP!
 

nope. Can't feel nothing other than hearing the turbo spool.

Re:My car is not boosting HELP!
 

It's gotta be the wastegate stuck open. Take your dp off and check out the flapper.

I'd say it's a charge pipe leak or a coupler has a hole in it.

I just checked my wastegate and it seems too simple to pull the wastegate rod. Do ou guys think it's to loose?
