sad and discouraged
so, i just recently turbo'd my N/A, Intercooled, GT35 turbo, I was cruising at about 5 PSI on my Boost gauge. I stepped on it and my car just stopped having power and died, i pulled over, after about 10 minutes it started. I got it running and chugged it home.
I really think an Apex seal went because theres little power the idle is SOOOO rough. THere were no signs of det previously it just happened randomly. I have no way to check compression. Im sad and discouraged. :( Anyways, at 5 PSI the car was pretty fast. Much happy about that. |

Simple and quick way to check:
pull ALL 4 spark plugs out and disconnect the crank angle sensor connector or pull the EGI fuse, and then turn it over by cranking it over, or you can do it with a 3/4" socket and ratchet at the main pulley and listen for equal compression pulses coming out of the spark plug holes. Quickest way to tell if something serious happened. Brian |
+1 on pullin the plugs, itll take you 5 minutes, good luck.

You don't even need to pull all 4 plugs, just pull the top plug on each rotor, remove the EGI fuse, and crank it over. You will be able to tell if something went south.
