Hey guys

I was trying to set my boost today, and as i was driving it went up to 20 pound for a split second

My cars a rb20 silvertop with r33 turbo

It is now making a loud wooshing noise like air is pushing out, it is still generating boost but stops around 6-7 psi, but i have the rb20 actuator so it should be around 11 or 12

Would my turbo be blown, or just a major vacum leak?

I have checked all the intercooler pipes (but it is night, so i can't see everything), but nothing seems to be wrong

any ideas?

Also idle is very rough and jumps down to about 100 and back up constantly

Thanks for any help

probably not

it would whine n squeal like a bitch and usually make bugger all boost

you may also see oil coming out of the throttle body / intercooler silicon joiners, that usually the oil seal in the turbo shagged

Much appreciated

Hopefully it is only a vacum leak

Thanks again

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
