baltour

My build:
Garrett super 60, 60A/R compressor 48A/R turbine
Ebay log mani
cx racing 19x6x2.5 front mount & piping
Tial 8 spi wastegate
ebay bov
blox fmu
walbro 255

I got this T3 super 60 like 5 months ago off ebay in refurbished condition. I finally got around to turboing my LS crx, and it does not pull at all. I'd guess maybe 30-40 more whp, if that. granted i am running un-tuned (fmu) at 6-7 psi, but i thought i should be making much more than this. It really doesn't like to spool that well, and it feel like it stops pulling at like 5k rpm. I know log style manifolds are supposed to be quick spoolers with no topend, but it just starts to spool at like 3k rpm.
It makes kind of a loud whistle/whine. It almost sounds closer to a s/c instead of a turbo. So i figured that maybe the bearings are bad? But there is no shaft play, no damage to the fins.... I double checked for leaks, i can't find any....

wat injectors and ecu are you running? My brother had the same problem untill he tuned.

If the blow off valve doesn't close all the way it can make a whistling sound and of course the big leak will kill your power. Could be the turbo too though.

sounds like a boost leak to me.

Definately a boost leak either in the intercooler or coupler or a charge pipe. Time to start checking

look for an exhaust leak as well

sounds kinda cool tho...
