ok so today after i stopped to fill up my gas tank i was pulling away and got on it a little and the car felt fine but i noticed wierd(not bad), noise so i let off... still in second at about 35mph i gave it some gas and it felt like the clutch was slipping!! so i slowed for the stop sign coming ahead, then got on it again and watched the boost gauge as it sat there at 0 psi and i heard my wastegate open up. my first assumption is that i popped a vacuum line off when i got on it hard the first time. so i pop the hood and check the lines running to and from the manual boost control/wastegate they are all fine. i then check the lines that run to the BOV, boost gauge, etc... they are ALL fine. so i start driving again and the car still runs fine, no sputtering its just not boosting up.
What could be causing this? any ideas would be appreciated! thanks guys.

 

Did you check all intercooler piping? May have popped off.

 

If your running an external wastegate, and you use a gasket, check if the gasket has blown out.

A honda-tech member had the same problem as you, and he found out it was his gasket that came with the Tial wastegate(wich are pieces of *****).

 

intercooler piping was fine too, and the water temp stayed at or below normal. wastegate gasket was fine too, it was replaced a while back with a high temp silicon that is still intact. thanks for the feedback guys

either your intercooler piping popped off, your intercooler physically popped, one of your couplings ripped, or your turbo took a ****. Eliminate one thing at a time!

 

has to be one of your pipes disconnected. dbl check it.

 

i've tripled checked all of the intercooler piping and its all fine. the couplings are tight, and in good condition. how would i know if the turbo took a ****?

 

How about tighten the bolts down on the wastegate. It happened to me one night. I just didn't get any boost. The high temp silicone stuff doesn't work out good. Check those bolts.

 

Trevor, double check your IC piping...also the charge pipe to the throttle body came loose on me one time.

 

ok well i ended up taking the whole wastegate off and taking it apart and the piston that is in the wastegate was all gunked up so it was opening and closing really roughly. also, i took off all the charge piping and it turned out that the coupler that goes to the turbo had a crack all the way through the middle of it, but the clamp was covering it up so i couldnt see it. thanks for all the input.
