There was definitely something causing that turbo to spool slow, just couldn't put my finger on it.</TD></TR></TABLE>
def check for boost leaks. that will result in very slow spool time.

sounds like pre turbo leaks. check to make sure the wastegate is hanging open and that your turbo>manifold gasket isnt leaking. ive had similar problems.

Re: slow spool on 50 trim y???? (CoreyR)
got some new couplers and clamps for the ic piping. also noticed that it looks like the wastegate was leaking on the backside going to oreder some new gaskets. hopefully that was my problem i keep this updated thanks for the help so far

Re: slow spool on 50 trim y???? (young noob)
didnt catch the 2.5 exhaust at first, only thought that was downpipe on maybe stock exhaust.....how much boost are you running on the spring on the wastegate? and how much shows on the boost gauge?

Go over all your couplers and make sure it's clamp down tight. Check couples for any wear on them. It's a boost leak somewhere. Check your manifold too.

Re: (turb20_vtec)
pulling the manifold checking for cracks going to put a new gasket on. but i keep checking and double checking starting to think its the turbo will post up later if new exhaust manifold gasket doesn't work.

Re: (93turbo16)
lets see i'm still spooling late i've haven't been driving due too i want to get all the leaks taken care of. so far the the places i found leaks are the weld around bov, the bov itself, my iat sensor, a hole in one of the couplers.

With all those leaks you're almost just as well off to start it all over again
Keep on them and that is your problem for sure. You should see full boost on that thing by 5500 or less by the end of it.
