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.

+1 on pullin the plugs, itll take you 5 minutes, good luck.

Damn, I was going to offerer to come check it out with you w/ my compression tester but thats a bit far, maybe another time. For now just try the test listed above.

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.
