I Think My Cars @#$@#ed

[[[d a n n y]]]

okay so far.....

Im going the highflow way..

though..i might check the pipings and everylike that 2nite..

currently i can hear a loud electronic fan thingy spinning when the boost comes in but no boost at all

but the car still revs out

so im guessing the front pellers are gone and the rear are still intact to let air through

[zei20l]

you might have ripped the rubber piping or a hose mate, that sound might be the air escaping..........

[[[d a n n y]]]

hm.well my past experience..

when a FMIC or vacum hose is loose or broken the car blows black smoke usually??

and when craig saw it yesterday the dipstick has popped off as well

[zei20l]

hmm ok, then it might not be the turbo.

it might be head gasket if the dipstick is popping out. crank case vent might be blocked.

you got water in the oil and vise-versa?

While I'm S1 on stock boost I encountered a similar sounding loss of power after doing some topside work. I thought "turbo", so got a s/h in vgc for $450. When I pulled it apart it was a dislodged intake pipe right at the turbo. I also had broken mannifold studs so they got fixed. Now have a spare turbo(stock)

On the point of weakness in the RB, I think mannifold studs would be No 1.

how high pitched a sound should a turbo be making ?

or do they all differ?

if mine ever goes it just gives me an excuse to get a big one

[[[d a n n y]]]

well im about to pull the car apart 2nite..

and if everything looks okay

then im sending the stock turbo off the GCG 2mrw!!

HighFlow FTW

[[[d a n n y]]]

okay..

i've just pulled the whole intake side apart everything looks to be intact.

all intercooler piping is intact as well

okay..

i've just pulled the whole intake side apart everything looks to be intact.

all intercooler piping is intact as well

maybe it is the exhaust turbine after all?

[[[d a n n y]]]

yeah seems like it

i couldnt have a look at the actual turbo but all the supporting lines seem to be in good nick..

[zei20l]

might be easier to take the dump off and have a look there first before you try removing the whole turbo.

[[[d a n n y]]]

woot turbo is out today

rear pellers are gone

bits missing out of it but still intact

the front doesnt spin freely it needs to be forced to spin.. the shaft has probably collapsed

looks like i was right lol

new turbo time!!

bloody bitch of a job to get the turbo out though..

hmm this will be interesting to see the differences.

Danwatt and Jet with their highflow.

I have an AXT Turbo highflow (and maybe Jason has soon as well).

Now Danny with a CGC highflow.
