all of a sudden my r32 is not boosting anymore.. it was boosting fine today, but tonight when i was driving it the standard gauge shows only a tiny bit over the 0 mark.. and flutter and bov noise has reduced dramatically..

it idles like normal, and drives like normal (normal as in a non turbo car. revs up fine, just no boost and no kick-back).

i have not change anything at all.. car is standard, standard boost, pod, bov, cat back. i check some of the vac lines and they all seem normal, and the vac line to the wastegate actuator is still on. i cant see if its still connected to the housing as its too dark and not much room to look..

any ideas fellas?

check your intercooler piping, BOV and all your hoses are connected.

so the car idles/drives fine (apart from not making any boost)?

is the car making any unusual noises?

ill disconnect the BOV tomorrow to see if that fixes it.

the car drives and idles like a normal non-turbo car.. just not making any boost (only a little flutter is heard, and i mean a tiny bit)

no unusual noises. thats wat is confusing me.. starts like normal too

Is it the std turbo? You said its all std so im assuming thats true. Check if you have an exhaust wheel, or any wheels for that matter? Not boosting, then its prob turbo related if everything else looks good on the outside.

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
