hey guys,

I was on my home from the mechanic, he just changed the oil filter and oil. on my way home, there was a bang noise from the left side of the engine and now no boost!!!!!!!!!!!

on the stk guage it wont go above 0 (its like the turbos will spool up but its not getting to the engine!)

i took it back to the mechanic and we checked the vacum lines on the plenum side (from the stk boost solenoid) and they are still attached. we checked to see if maybe the intercooler hose had popped off... we cant see anything around the intercooler??

please help me!!!!

stk turbos bro???

i wasnt fanging it, i dropped it back into 2nd to go around a corner, i wasnt thrashing it :)

i thought it was the turbos but i didnt get smoke from the exhaust so i didnt suspect the turbos?

could i have been wrong?

ooh. that sounds like a dead turbine wheel I hate to say.

If you have a hose off then the car usually won't want to idle well or at all.

Dead turbine is my bet, but I hope I am wrong.

If so, fingers crossed you haven't ceramic dusted the motor. Sadly this happens alot. You will find a pot or two down on compression on a test or losing compression on leak down. If it's the turbine make sure you get rid of the oil too.

Sorry i shouldve mentioned the extremely bad idle....

it goes to stall but picks up revs to keep the car alive!

its not AFMs ive just had them reconditioned to try and fix my random cutting out problem.

so the IC pipping guys?? its a stk IC, where should i look???

thanks for the help guys!

Its pretty easy, follow the pipes from the turbos to the IC, then from the IC to the plenum. Somewhere in there the pipe will be split/loose/not sealing 100%

On my one the big pipe that goes under the airbox would always come off under hard load until i got better clamps, you might find its just a shitty clamp thats letting you down

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
