Alright guys, I was driving my car on the weekend and it was running fine, the boost is set to 14 psi. I pulled up at the lights, when i went to take off the car will not make over 8 psi of boost and when it gets to 8 psi the car runs like sh!t. Rpm still increases and the car will still accelerate (slowly) but it just will not go past 8 psi of boost. There was no pop, no bang, nothing. It was runnig great, I stoped at the lights, I took off, it now has issues.

Has anyone had this before or has any ideas what's shagged? Any help would be great, thanks guys.

The car is running an RB26 from an R33 and is stock as a rock.

So its deffinetly making some boost? Commonly the turbine wheel will come to pieces and then you have no boost. This generally happens during boost though. If your making some boost you will need to investigate things like the boost controller, blockage in the intake system or boost leak, etc

yeah it certainly was. I finally got some time to get the car out and have a decent look and it's fixed itself, WTF? Oh well the only thing i was doing differently that day was it was bloody hot in stop and start traffic. But now it's running like a dream again. Oh well. Thanks anyway mate.
