I just finished a customers FD with an Apexi RX6 single turbo kit, Haltech E6K, Greddy FMIC ect ect.
The motor is freshly built with an agressive streetport as well.

Now heres the problem....

When trying full throttle runs, there is absolutly no boost, like the boost gauge goes to zero and stops....absolutly no positive manifold pressure what so ever.

Now you'd think the wastegate is stuck open or something right, well no, its vented to atmosphere and there is nothing coming out of it.

The turbo spins very freely too, once you get on throttle you can here it spooling but it only goes up to zero manifold pressure.


I'm stumped...any ideas?

 

Wastegate signal is coming from where? And how's it routed(ebc?)?

 

Hahaha your gonna laugh....SOMEBODY didn't hook up the lower I/C pipe.....hmmmm no wonder theres no boost haha.

 

Definitely wastegate related. It's either backwards (I doubt it), is stuck open for some really strange reason, or the hoses going to it are setup wrong.

 

wow....................I was gonna mention that, but I deleted it because I figured that you were smarter than that. :p

 

yep that would do it!!!
glad you found the problem

 

i was going to say it was something obvious like an intercooler pipe, but i figured you checked that stuff out already

 

Thats the last time I trust someone who says "Yeah man...its all good"

 

hope it wasent anyone that workes/ed for you that said that!! thats just uncool

**** happens!
at least it wasn't something that went bad because of that person.

i do all my own work kinda and have left the coupler loose before... no biggy.

 

i had a friend leave the cap on the end of the intercooler once.......car was suckin in air through the bov, pulling like 25hg at idle, so yes, **** happens hahah
