No Boost Under Load At 3000Rpm, Shuddering - Blown Turbo?

[jackbh241]

So, last night was driving my M35 home in the rain. Was driving a little "spiritedly" and in first gear I went to put the car under full boost and all of a sudden it got to about 3000rpm and then wouldn't get past that in any gear.

Tested again this morning, once it gets to 3000rpm it doesn't get any boost and the car feels like it's shuddering. I can still hear the turbo spinning at lower rpms and no noticeable change in sound, it still revs freely to red line in neutral.

The car is almost at 160,000kms so I'm expecting the turbo to die soon but don't want to get it sent for a rebuild unless I know that's the issue.

I haven't looked extensively but all the hoses that I can reach look to be in good shape and the clamps seem tight.

Any thoughts guys?

Sounds like it's going into limp mode.

U sure there isn't any water that's made it's way into the electrics/intake/AFM's due to the rain etc?

Check for a split in the top of the hard pipe coming from the turbo to the bend linked to the front intercooler piping
