ok so I installed a turbo kit. overall install went ok. I finished up today and well, of course i have a slight oil leak from the stupid oil line in the back of motor, and coolant but that's easy to fix and will do tomorrow.

My T25 garret turbo spins when I start my car and is working. Car idles and starts perfect. Using emanage.

ok so the vacuum lines go like this:


Vacuum line from the motor (next to throttle body to):

Boost Gauge//Blow Off Valve//Emanagevacc

Are these 3 things that only use the vacuum lines? and is it hooked up this way?
I have NO boost at all. and I don't get why. All my IC fittings are tight as hell I cant figure any leaks.....


As far as my wastegate, its an internal wastegaste. Now theres a vac line that goes from the wastegate actuator to the Turbo. Thats correct right?

SO what else could be a reason why I have No boost!?

Why dont you run on a separate vacuum hose from the gauge to a vac source from the IM. Also turbo needs load, you can't boost when the car is not in motion.

No matter how high you rev it, you won't see boost unless the car is under load. Meaning your driving the car.

 

wastegate might be left open? shaft play? pix?

 

check your charge pipes

It's a T25 lol, they'll make some boost without load

 

Probably spoolin' on idle... lol

 

i checked everything and nothing. Im taking off the exhaust right now since my old exhaut is hooked up and SUPER low to the groun and is draggin then im gonna go drive it and see what happens

 

No shaft play at all the turbo is a garret and in excellent condition.

Emanage the light on the left side blinks twice intermetialttly, and the light on the right side stays on i think

 

hey so yeah I got ir started everything works fine


I do have a coolant line from turbo that has a hole in it, which is really pissing me off, I think I got it like that. But ill order a new one, get the midpipe made when I get home from work early and figure out the little things i have to go over.

How do you calibrate a boost gauge?

my buddies run turbo d16's with dsm t25 turbos on stock motors and i recall them spooling around 2krpm and like reaching 7-8 psi by 3-3.5k rpm. it seems almost effortless to boost those things. i don't understand why you would have to take it that hard on the highway just to get it to boost... unless boost leak... ever think about chipping your ecu? xenocron is where my buddies go though. good price. i wouldn't trust emanage, only as temp.
