Question Did I blow my turbos

Ok i let my car warm up and cool off for 1 min after every time i drive it but today i took the car out after work and when i tryed to floor it the turbos felt like they wouldn't kick in. My boost gauge shows that my turbos are working but i just dont feel it.

If I push on the gas to hard the car will just red line and i feel like im not getting any power. Did i blow my turbos or what. Please I need to get this fixed soon so does anyone know whats wrong.

if your getting 10 lbs on your boost gauge, your turbos are working fine.

oh ****, only 1 min cool down??? i advise at least 2-5 mins of cool down, more if your shutting down after a hard run. this must be why people are having so many problems with the their turbos!

anyways, is this an auto car? how high are you shifting at? what gear is this in? how many miles on the engine? what other mods do you have? have you checked all the fuses, hoses and relays? any boost leaks in the intercooler system? any funny noises?

Turbos are fine, sounds like your clutch.

If your engine revs went up, but your car didn't pick up speed like normal (really a strange feeling), yup, I would say dying clutch. Good time for lighter flywheel too while you've got it all apart...
