no boost
my turbo doesnt spin at idle I searched and some people are saying shot bearings and some are saying it normal. I have a godspeed 57 trim. Also my waste gate is letting out exhaust at idle, can missing a fire ring cause this? Also can missing a fire ring on my waste gate cause no boost at all, I can hear the turbo spinning but dont feel any boost at all I did a leak test none of the couplers or piping is leaking wich only leaves the wastegate im assuming. My bov also makes no noise can the fire ring cause this as well? I did search and from what I read missing the firing ring is the problem but can it really cause no boost and my turbo from not spinning at idle? thanks

Re: no boost
Even with the fire ring installed, your turbo may not spin at idle or build boost on free rev.

Re: no boost
ok so i put installed my fire took it for a spin and still no boost and no i am not free reving lol I drove it around my block and I can hear the turbo spool but it wont produce boost. There is no exhaust coming from the wastegate anymore either and the turbo does spin at idle now but will not make any power

Re: no boost
Check for boost leaks. If you cant find any, take the compressor housing off the turbo and look for scuffing. If the turbo has a bad bearing or the tolerances are too loose, it will wobble and contact the housing. It will spin, but never fast enough to make positive pressure.

Re: no boost
What kind of wastegate? some like tial need a vacuum line hooked up and it also depends where its hooked up. Top or bottom. Plus, my turbo setup didn't spin at idle either.

Miracles.
Buys cheap part then wants some trick to make cheap part perform like it was the real part he should have bought in the first place.
Keeps saying "think" or "I don't think" A lot. Indicating he doesn't really know. "Duck season! Rabbit season!" "Wastegate! Blow off valve!"

Re: no boost
Not a fan of the "chipped" ecu gang, from my understanding, you really don't know what you have. Your wastegate...it's a knock off...do you understand? eBay isn't bad, if its not a moving part. I buy items for my car from eBay but they're the real thing and not a knock off brand
