hi guy as the tittle states i've lost pressure some where and the turbo no longer spool's.

"The back story" The car when bought was standard 138xxx's, just 3 days ago I decided to add a FMIC and BOV.

I dont know if these additions have actually helped to send it on it's way, but straight after the FMIC was added, driving it away i lost all pressure but then came back

2-3 minutes later and was back to normal, the next day after starting the car and driving away the turbo made a strange whistling sound while spooling under load

but when free reving in neutral nothing this sound lasted for another 2-3 minutes but the went away and all was normal.

Last night when i started the car and started my driving the whistling sound grew louder and turned into a slight siren like sound, the car still spooled but would not go into

positive on the boost gauge, it would struggle all the way to 0 and still set the BOV off but the higher i rev the louder the sound got.

This was happening right from 0RPM till 2500-3000RPM which is about when i changed gears, then my mate fxxxed it trying to force it into positive on the boost gauge

and thats when all pressure was lost, now the car just feels like it an NA, the car's standard boost gauge for some reason still says that the turbo is spooling and building

it up to the mid point which is 0 but is this only cause of the air passing through the airfilter?

Can anyone please help as i dont know JACK!! about mechanics as for the car its a

Series 2 R33 GTS-T with the new additions aside its still got the stock ECU, should i have replaced it before adding these item or atleast remapped the standard one?

Someone told me i blew a seal in the turbo "on the inside" i dont know if this is true, another told me a compression leak.

Did i just blow mine up? Could i rebuild a busted turbo or should i just buy a new one

Man i dont know but i really appreciate all of those who take the time to read and reply

Cheers

Have you set up the BOV correctly? If it's whistling, then maybe you are simply pumping any boost straight out of the BOV. Put the original back on!

And have you checked ALL the intercooler plumbing joints?

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
