0 PSI, or just really low boost? Check the BOV, wastegate lines and intercooler connections.

you probably have a big vacuum leak. Check all your vacuum lines. Also check the tubes going to the intercooler.

stock?....gt25/28?.....no way Jose' too small :-(

You can prolly pick up a used stock turbo in the f/s section for $75-150 depending on condition.

Or better yet buy a blown stock turbo for even less and send it off to BNR for an upgrade (I just happen to have one for sale...)

Too bad about your turbo crapping out.

I have this stock turbo for sale, good condition, boosts fines with no smoke.

I bought a BNR hybrid so I have no use for this turbo.











PM if your interested in it.
