inspecting turbos
Well I have my turbos out right now, I was wandering if there was anyway to tell if my shaft is bent. I have had someone tell me it was but he was not sure. The turbo spins great and has good play so I think its fine. Thanks

Who should I take my car to, to have the turbo checked? Cause my primary isn't spooling up, I think it's because my precontrol, turbo control actuator and wastegate control need to all be checked, adjusted, and replaced if needed. At least that's what I think needs to be done, what do you guys suggest? My secondary kicks in fine right when it's supposed to, but in lower RPM range I have NO POWER what so ever between 0 and 3,000 RPM's and sometimes up to 4,500 RPM's which is normal since that's when the secondary comes on. But what do you guys think is wrong with my primary?

O and I don't have a boost gauge, so please don't ask for my boost reading, cause I have no idea right now. I am going to get a boost gauge and once that's in then I can tell you how much boost is going through my secondary and if any is going through my primary.

Try to find a local rx7 shop. DO NOT TAKE IT TO A MAZDA DEALERSHIP! They don't know crap 1/2 the time so find a good shop and let them inspect everything that they can without taking the turbos apart. Furthermore, it would really help to have some boost readings because it might just be that a hose has cracked or something.
Good luck!
Good luck!

It is easier for both turbos to overcome a boost leak, that could be a reason why you see some more power above 4500rpm.

no, and YES I know. I am going to get a boost gauge. I don't hear any wooshing, but of course I haven't tried listening for it or paid any attention. I also don't have the car right now, it's still at the shop getting some work done to it so it can be smogged.
