So I took a road trip the last few days.

Here is what happened:

Went to pass somebody at 6500 RPM and my dump tube fell off. As soon as it fell off, I felt it either hit the car, or loss of power (immediately). So I get to my friends house, my car cant even idle anymore, I have to give it some gas. I look and there is only 1 bolt holding my turbo to my manifold on.

So that would explain the exhaust leak and lack of power (might I add).

I get new bolts and its all fixed. No exhaust leak but I hear a miss in the exhaust note. Like a *blurp*

Compression came back as 165-165-80-165. The famous #3 cylinder is gone.

What usually goes? This is my first turbo motor. Thanks in advance.

 

the dump tube wouldnt cause that to happen. you definitely did something. most likely ringlands

 

have you pulled the plugs? check the valves

 

Is it puffing smoke out the breather or exhaust ? If so what color ?

 

The breather isnt blowing smoke nor is oil coming out of that area. I am running straight downpipe, even with my tune, it just blows smoke (fuel) dark color. I pulled the plugs and they seem like it could be replcaed, about 3000 miles on em. Im not a tech guy by any means, it just looks seriously discolored. Thank you for all your help.

 

how much oil are you losing by driving it?

might be a bent valve, or one thats not seating well..

probably something bad, but who knows.

 

I have a Greddy oil cooler so since day 1, I havent been able to read the dipstick right
