something wrong, need help

so my buddy has a 93 rx-7, its twin turbo of course. So we were drivin around, and we hit first and hear the greddy type rs BOV go off, then we hit 2nd and take it all the up. Now when he shifted into 3rd, the BOV went off, and it sounded like something BLEW, as in a vacum line came off or a hose or something. Now his car's second turbo no longer boosts. His first turbo hits boost just fine, and you can hear it spool. Any suggestions?

All feedback would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

-Kyle

Look for loose hoses and vacuum lines.

yeah, sounds like you blew a vac line or hose. You say the first turbo boosts fine, so you may want to look first at hoses dealing with the secondary, like the charge control valve, or charge actuator thingie. etc.
