Re: PROBLEMS ALREADY! no more boost WTF?
 
Was driving down the road today and i was just barely getting into it. just enough to blow off. then i was turning into my neighbor hood and got into it a little bit and no boost. It hits 0 vac and dosnt go into boost. i checked all my couplers and they seem to be on. the blow off valve is closing so.....Im going to pull all my charge piping off tomorrow. i have to sand and paint them anyways. I think it could be a couple things like wastegate is stuck open ,the compressor wheel fell off or a valve is stuck open in my head. or a coupler has a hole that i cant see because its dark outside.

i have a spare turbo with the same wastegate if thats the problem. a spare head if thats the problem and ill just use the spare turbo if mines fucked up ill keep you all informed.

Any suggestions?

sounds like a boost leak. you will have lots of them for the first week or so. it took me a while to make it stop on my car

It's not your head, I'd also guess boost leak.

NO boost leaks..
just my waste gate fell apart thats all.lol
I put it back together about five minutes ago. the diaphragm and locking nut fell off and the valve was just siting open heres what it looked like after i put it back together.

HOPEFULLY i didnt tighten down the nut to far, i dont want more then 10 pounds. i tightened it just enought to get the locking nut on there all the way.

PROBLEM FIXED
