hi all, im wanting to get a leak test done on my r32 gtst. seems im getting very minimal boost although can hear turbo working its arse off. i hear theres a good test with 2x boost gauges that can be done(somethig which i do not have the mechanical mind to pull off). anyway, does any1 know of a mechanic in melb or some1 that can do this? could u please let me know??? any advice is welcomed. cheers -jack-

hi all, sorry bout late reply. car was origionally a non turbo but had a turbo conversion in jap. seems the conversion is a bit odd as they have uses a modified non turbo loom instead of a turbo loom. car has never had boostguage only tepmorary 1's in the workshop. yes i have been in other r32gtst's and therre is no problem like this. takes bout 10 minutes to warm up and run properly. but for that 1st 10 min car just makes turbo spooling noise car drives like a riced up n/a. i have had this car for bout a year and for the first 6 months it didnt do this. pretty imbarising when i drive home a date and it only kicks in just before i drop her off. i recently moved to fitzroy from geelong., not sure if thats far from tullarmarine or not. i havnt fitted a larger turbo but changed the 1 that s on it4 a reco and it didnt make any difference. might be ok if i still lived in country but when u live in melb and 10k is the furthest u drive it sux an i get no sweet speed. thanx for ur ideass so far. anymore would be appreciated. - jack -

ok here it is. my r32gtst is havin sum wierd power/boost problem. when cold= no boost at all, when warm=1/2 boost. my car has been at 2 different performance mechanics for a total now of 6 months. ive gone through everything from denial to depression. seems everything has been tried, afm, fuel pump, bov, ecu, temp senser, exhaust, turbo, theyve all been switched, now there looking at rewiring the bastard. has any1 had a problem like this or heard of 1. any ideas would be thanked. jack (melb)

i have a r32gtst. when i go for a drive, for the first 3 minutes the turbo makes a spool and sucknig noise but it has no affect on excelleration. when the car is running after 3 minutes the turbo kicks in and works fine. However some days i can be driving for say an hour and suddenly i will take off and the motor will make noise like its running really hard and the turbo wont spool. 2 minutes later it will be fine again. anybody have any ideas? (this isnt what you call shaft play is it?) ps, i dont know bout boost coz my gauge is not and has never been hooked up.

hi im after a far passenger side air vent for a r32gtst, could u please have a look for 1 of those. cheers, let me know.
