HELP huge boost problem
Hey guys.
OK first off I want to say I still have my throttle body/tps issue. OK now I went to go start my car and went for a drive since i sat all winter. I let the car warm up for 30min. And i took it on a nice slow drive for about 20mins. I wanted to feel that boost so I went on the highway and I hit boost took her to around 7K and then when I went in to 4th gear its like I hit a brick wall. I lost all boost. My gauge will read from 20vacuum to 0 but nothing past that. I cant even hear my turbo spool anymore. My motor sounds good, no ticks or anything just not spooling. At idle I can see that the turbo fins are still spinning. Im not smoking or anything. As of now its back into storage but would anyone have any idea what it could be?
The only thing I came up with was, vacuum leak, BOV or wastgate is messed up?
Thanks guys, just sucks after it sits all winter it does this with no warning.

Re: HELP huge boost problem
Ok thats odd that would happen I have had the car for almost 4 years and never had that issue. I will look into that tomorrow. I hope that's all it is,
Even if that was the issue wouldnt you still be able to hear the turbo spool?
