turbo not spoolin??
i don't know if this is a bad turbo or not but i start up my car and the turbo isn't spooling unless you pull it up to about 5k rpm. just wondering if that's good or not.. and plus i hooked up my boost gauge and it shows only vacuum pressure even when i run my car up to 8k rpm. lmk what you guys think

i checked the charge pipes and everything is koo and vacuum lines are good too. turbo is a t3 KKK turbo from a european car, that's what i was told.

when it's under load i'm not sure if it's the bov or the turbo whining, it's like a long whistle..when it's not under any load the turbo spools like at 6k, so i might just get a new manifold, turbo and downpipe setup if i can't find out the problem

i was told that the turbo should spin even at idle. but i have driven it and i feel no gain at all, even my boost gauge was reading between -10 through -20 on vacuum...that's all i get.

pop the hood, blip the throttle, it should start to spin. If it doesn't, then there is possibly something wrong with the turbo, or an exhaust leak, or your wastegate is stuck open.
