I have recently put a big turbo on my gtst and after having it running without an exhaust, (just to make sure it still runs) it wont start. I get a warning light of the dash coming up when i try to start it.

The car does not crank at all, when you go to crank it all you here is a click, sounds like its coming from the starter motor. Battery is fine, and also my windows dont go up or down now could this be the same problem?

I think the warning light might be exhaust gases or something.

Any ideas,

cheers

I have charged the battery since then and had it running also tryied to jump start, i know what its like when the battery is dead. Its not like that its a single click coming from the starter motor area. Also i think a exhaust fault lamp comes up as well just as the keys turned.

2 signs of a stuffed battery. Even if it was something like a seized motor, if you had a good battery your windows would be working?! Did you disconnect the battery when installing the turbo? didnt do something stupid and hook it up backwards by mistake?

jack power from someone elses car...

you may get that extra volt or two that you need if the other car gives it a rev...

if it doesn't crank then, think about sourcing a new starter motor, or get your alarm looked at...

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
