Car not hitting boost...

[tekung89]

manifold cracked?, have u inspected the manifold. jus incase its crack beneath where u cannot see? , not getting enough gas passing through to spin that turbo might be a problem to why u cant boost. or double check the wastegate, im all outa ideas

[destrukshn]

but if the manifold is cracked he would sure smell it
lol

yeah i've inspected the manifold (log style) for cracks. Even placed my hand around it to see if there was air escaping. Still nothing.

why is it that my boost gauge is seeing boost in the higher gears (3rd,4th,5th) but not in 1st and 2nd..?

could it be a wastegate problem.?
Thought it might be but have no idea how to inspect it properly..

gerald. you're dirty,, i didnt even know ur car was boosted
lol

[destrukshn]

block your wastegate line, run open boost, if it boosts, then your waste gate is ****ed. i woudl assume.

can you hear the turbo spin?

gerald. you're dirty,, i didnt even know ur car was boosted
lol

hahaha it's only boosted in 3rd, 4th, & 5th gear... NA for 1st and 2nd gear.
it's the way to go these days... lol i miss my boost

block your wastegate line, run open boost, if it boosts, then your waste gate is ****ed. i woudl assume.

i'll see if i can give that a try over the weekend.

can you hear the turbo spin?

can't hear it in 1st and 2nd.. but can hear it spoolin in 3rd & 4th.

Because of more load. Its like going up a hill, more load. But thats obviously not the problem since it was not a problem before.

weird..... ... check hoses more thoroughly.

[mrfsport]

if your running a front mount, check it doesnt have any cracks in the welds, you could be loosing boost there, there is definatly a boost leak, get someone with a leak detector to go through your car

[preludacris]

where could u find somebody with a leak detector? can also find exhaust leaks yeh?

[Limo]

have you checked your ecu? mapsensor?

also i dont think you should be pushing it too hard to hit boost if something is wrong.
