This is starting to get old...
 

Alright my set up has hit yet ANOTHER road block to finnaly getting boosted >:( I was thinking today that the guy who is gonna be tuning my car is driving an awful long ways, and that I had yet to actualy find out if the car builds boost, So i went ahead and tightend up the wastegate and took the car out for a test run, figured to take it pretty easy sence I didnt want to boost to much, but i quicky realized that it wasnt gonna boost. I layed into the throttle a few times to make sure but still nothing. The car runs great, seems to be pulling pretty good, but that gauge isnt showing any boost and the wideband isnt showing any fuel readings to lead me to believe its flowing anymore then before. So i get home and pop the hood and check the charge pipes and everything is tight, untill i get to the radiator hose thats coming off off the compressor elbow. I fill in the considerable leak with some sillicone i had laying around and let it sit. Come back out and go for another test drive, same results. I pop the hood and rev the motor a bit and the only thing i can hear is a sligh hiss from the BOV area. Im really getting tired of all these problems lol if someone could help fix this issue id arpreciate it

1. dont fix coupler leaks with silicone, replace the coupler

2. your bov should be open at idle just a little but close immediately when you rev it, make sure thats happening.

is that coupler totally pinched???

Re: This is starting to get old...
 

thats probebly not going to hold presure...

Re: This is starting to get old...
 

what kind of turbo is that?

Re: This is starting to get old...
 

its not a coupler its a section of radiator hose that goes from the elbow to the lowerchargre pipe. How much do you think a muffler shop would charge to weld a section of pipe so i can nix the radiator hose?

Re: This is starting to get old...
 

looks like a 14b, Are you sure your wastgate flapper is complety shut? Do you have any kind of air filter on the turbo? Can you hear it spooling up above lets say 4grand? Im not understanding if its not spooling up or if its spooling and your charge piping/intercooler/intake isnt holding the pressure.

Re: This is starting to get old...
 

is that a rag on the turbo inlet?

Re: This is starting to get old...
 

hear the turbo spooling at all?
