Hey guys,

Help me out.....im losing boost, why i have no clue. Ive changed turbo...(had to...fins got chewed up) the turbo thats on now is off a 91, and a new blitz bov. I don't think i hooked up the vac hoses incorrectly, the only thing yet to do is the throttle body, could that be part of the problem or what? any other ideas for me to try or did or does anyone else have the same scenario.....

So you gonna give up any numbers, or your butt dyno tells you you're losing boost?

what numbers?....Im fairly new to the turbo setups so im still learning as i go. It was at stock 8lbs but after i did everything its now only going up to 5 and sometimes it doesn't hold, also sometimes it won't boost at all....the boost gauge won't go past 0. If those are the numbers u were refering to. Thanx.....

Yeah, I needed psi numbers to correspond how bad it's dropping...
Does the turbo make any abnormally loud noises?&nbsp It sounds like the new turbo is no good too?



-Ted

 

No turbor doesn't make any abnormal noises, i had someone check it before i mounted it and he said it was fine.

 

Does the car make a loud "woosh" noise under boost?&nbsp It could be you have a boost leak somewhere?

Well i solved the problem. It turns out the problem was with my throttle body, I did the mods to it that i saw posted here and it is a nite an day difference, boost is there instantly and constant. The only thing left to do is the exhaust, im not happy with whats there goin to put a 3" all the way back, anyhow, thanks for the aid.......
