Default HELP! Turbo troubles

HELP!!!!!

i was on the highway this morning in mid-boost and it just sounded off, so i let off the gas. now i dont hear the whine of the turbo spooling as clearly and i dont hear bov either, but the car ran and drove fine the 15 miles home, and it seems like im still getting boost.

I haven't even had my setup for that long yet and I'm kind of in a panic as I have essentially no money if there's a big problem.

Anybody?

Take a look in the inlet of the turbo and see if you see any damage. Also feel the shaft to see how much movment you have in it. The wheel also may have contacted the housing so check for that also.

I know you are low on cash so i will help you as much as I can to get you back on the road.

Pics will help alot.

Just got finished on the once over. seems like a rubber hose blew, leading from the intake to the boost controller, it blew right before it gets T'd off, so im gonna replace that, start her up, and see how it goes.

what are you using to tune the car with? What info can you supply other than it has a miss? Air fuel logs would be great.

Check your plugs.

sounds like you need to get the car tuned. u cant just throw on a turbo and expect it to run right...
