Generally, no it is not dead. Usually the boost is leaking or there is a problem with the turbo boost control. When a turbo is really dead the symptoms are different.

I suggest you check the FAQ thread under the subject "boost leak". It's not certain that a boost leak is the problem but it is important and easy to solve.

If you do not find a boost leak using the methods described there, the second most likely cause is a loose vacuum hose or missing component.

I would love to visit Spain. Even if it means fussing with a rats nest. Hint, hint.

jejejejeje dgeesaman are invited to Spain when you want, you'll like. Instead I love your country, last summer visit new york and is totally in love, this summer to go back over there.

On the turbo I have to say that no pressure because a wesgate is broken, we are fixing right now but can be some other problem?

Unfortunately there are many reasons that can create low boost.

I find it is best to focus on: 1) what you can see is broken 2) boost leaks and only after you have eliminated these issues to move forward and attempt more detailed troubleshooting.

hi, thanks for your reply.
The problem is that the two turbos blowing now but has only 5 psi each. Has reviewed the entire rat's nest and as I said before the nest is all new, also the turbos have been found are in good condition and have been repaired 3 wesgates, there are no leaks and there is nothing broken but you still blowing to more than 5 psi but now if they blow the 2 turbos.

We thought that having unlimited wearing a pettit racing a Japanese car that is can be no well control solenoid rat's nest. Does anyone know if the Pettit unlimited racing car only works with U.S.?

A greeting and thanks
