No Boost, No Spool
Hi

My car was running a perfect boost pattern and one day no boost at all. Everytime i get on it i don't hear the turbo' spooling and that kick is gone. My gauge is showing vaccum but no pressure; maybe 1-2psi


-I cannot hear the turbo spool, it doesn't sound like a typical turbo car anymore (open downpipe). The car now sounds like a stock honda with no exhaust.

-Car does not smoke.

-No bogging, as if it had any boost/vac leaks.

-Re-tightened all clamps on couplers, and exhaust mani.

-Cleaned Maf


Setup is stock DE + GtiR T28 + JWT + n62 + S4 cams.

any help is appreciated, TIA

B

Did one of the manifolds become loose ?

did your actuator come off the waste-gate tab? or maybe your actuator is stuck open?

What's the easiest to check this?

Aka the turbo flapper i would just look by alternator side with long pliers or long screw driver and check to make sure the rod still attached to the flapper arm if lucky and good light available there should be a "c" clip that secures the rod in place

I'd also check to see if the turbo spins freely by hand

Judging by your other thread ima guess your turbo was seized? If that's the case you might wanna check your oil feed line / fittings to be sure that lack of oil wasn't the cause..
