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.

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
