Re: No Boost, cannot figure it out
Well, if the HG's blown that would probably explain puking oil out the breather. And ya can't really spool a turbo up that well if all the pressure going into the cylinders ends up going out the breather. It's a vicious cycle...no compression=no spool=no boost=no power. Fix you HG, use some ARP headstuds and you'll probably be ok.

Re: No Boost, cannot figure it out
I used a Felpro gasket last time and didn't change the studs. I wish I would of known the factory HG was as cheap as the Felpro I would have bought that one. I'll change the HG and studs and give her a wing. Only problem is we are getting hammered with snow in Western New York so it may take a couple of days.

Re: No Boost, cannot figure it out
Yeah they are bolts sorry for the misunderstanding. Thanks for the info, I'll check them out. Do you think this could play a part on why my turbo doesn't boost up past 2 psi?

Re: No Boost, cannot figure it out
If the turbo is working properly then the air has to be going somewhere. Have a friend seat in the car and spool the turbo while you feel/look around the engine for signs of air leaking out. If it all looks normal then your turbo is probably bad. A final check would be to take the turbo off and throw on some header. Run it NA with a stock map and see what happens. If it is a headgsket then the car will act the same with or without the turbo. If the car runs great then you know it's something with you set-up( turbo, PCV, etc.)

Re: No Boost, cannot figure it out
I couldn't find anywhere were the charge pipes are leaking. The car did run better with the turbo off and smaller injectors. The car used to pull when the VTEC would kick. I had problems back then with oil and antifreeze, so It probably is the HG and the turbo that need to be replaced.
