Possible Turbo Issues

[SYC-033]

When my skyline comes on boost it sounds like it's sucking heaps more than it should b through the podfilter And it has lost alot of power due to this..it sputters in gears it's lke. A slipping clutch but instead it's like the turbo is slipping eg struggles to get up hills n stuff lol plz HELP

Check for air leaks.

What have you looked for,tested etc?

If nothing then send it to a mechanic. If your not keen enough to throw your head in your engine bay to find a problem before asking people then don't bother.

Dude I have thrown my head in the engine bay I have taken it to my mechanic he can't c the problem either he suggest I get it tested on a dyno all I wanted were some oppinons before I done it

i'll put my money on a hairline crack on the pipe that goes through the hole in the chassis before the intercooler.

it'll probably be a split where the 2 halves of the pipe join, on the under side

mine has this feeling but usually only on hot days. feels like the ecu massively holds it back. but then it feels awesome in the morning again. if you work it out let me know. i don't think it's an air leak otherwise it'd be a permanent thing.

it's like it gets hot and then holds back. you hear boost way more and feel like, half the power.

yeah mine was a crack in the underside of the pipe where that guy said it was lossing like heaps of boost so i changed that and im all good again.. im still learining about this turbo stuff but maybe u need to tune your ecu on the dyno or keep your car cool so the computer thinks its still running cool like in the mornings eg install a frountmount or get an ecu that tells your car is cold all the time so it runs like it does in the mornings:) let me know how u go??
