Rb26 Running Like Na

[Driver]

Something weird is goin on with my car..

Both Boost guages are on 0 not moving, car is running like an NA and there is no signs of smoke out the exhaust, any hose leaks or anything weird.

WHHHHY?!

[GTR1993]

So you have an aftermarket guage and factory one?

could be a few things, both wastegates stuck open (not sure why that would happen)

big boost leak (but then car should run rough as it will be running very rick when losing all the air after the afm)

if they are ceramic turbos the exhaust wheels could be shattered?

what mods std afm and computer system?

[Driver]

yeah an apexi and a stock guage

both needles dont move a bit no matter how you drive, and even at idle.

ive had a leak before and the car ran like shit and usualy stuff comes out the exhaust

they're n1 turbos and the boost has never been overboosted to a dangerous level

usual mods

cooler

pfc

ebc

im just stuck to understand why the guages sit at 0..

[Driver]

ugh

and another thing..

ususaly when you turn the car off the boost guage move, or even when u start the car, the needle usualy moves but i cant remember how much, but both guages dont respond or read anything.

I also have a boost guage on my EBC and thats also not reading.

What are the gauges doing @ idle? 0 aswell?

[Driver]

yeh, they just sit there at 0.. not under or above.

well then have u checked where the guages are connected? if they read zero at idel something definatly wrong. are they plumbed in independantly?

you will have vacume at idel, if the guages have disconnected then they see atmospheric pressure and stay at 0 at all times.

i'll go check again now, but they all end up in the same spot near the firewall drivers side.

If they sit @ 0 on idle.

They arent connected or broken.

Off for them both to die at once so i would say something has come loose

[moonus]

so u cant feel the turbo building any boost? or is it just the guage not showing it?
