Blown Turbo...or More?


Recommended Posts

heyas

I fear that I may have blown my turbo or perhaps even more (what i've been told) :) happened while i gave the car a bit of hit, took it to about 6k then all i could hear was a high pitched humming sound. continued to drive normally, then heard it again when ever the turbo would spool. doesn't boost at all. when i do accelerate, the high pitched humming sounds rises in pitch with the engine, sounds very annoying. symptons of a blown turbo or even more damage? sound is definitely comming from the air filter.

mods:

3" exhaust turbo - back

pod filter

stock turbo boosted @ 10-12 psi (just hits 12psi and comes down to 11/10)

walbro 500hp fuel pump

was dyno'd making 190rwkw.

all opinions much appreciated.

If u like lag in most cases :nyaanyaa:

The fact it don't make boost but still drives through those rpms as well as the squeeling (rooted intake/zorst wheel) would indicate its a turbo problem and nothing to worry about too much. Go get it checked by someone and just drive very easy off boost
