New Turbo Installed But Wont Boost

[RamR33]

yea it is soft as u can pull the rod with your hands back not like the stock turbo where almost impossible to pull back the rod with your hand but it might hit 1 psi when that one time i drove it just real quick as test but the pre load has made it a lil hard

yea the rear wheel is still there i hope lol not like ive been thrashing it for it to full off and running 20psi.

i guess its mechanic time let them have fun with it lol.

im almost sure it has something to do with the actuator as ive just put it on and turbo spins great not seized and is getting oil and even if there was a dump pipe leak or loose bolts dont really think it stop it from creating boost.

even if the wastegate flap was jammed it will still make boost , althou very very laggy

but yeah is the rear wheel still on the turbo

i just took it for a drive around with the actuator adjusted preload and boosted up to like 5 pounds with normal driving but felt weird as in not much sucktion or release like my stock turbo but maybe need a tune now i guess.

ive hooked up the boost controller to, as the preload adjustment i dont want hitting like heaps of boost as i had to get the rod tight on for it to work so should i just turn the boost on my turbo smart down and go from there or will it not work as ive adjusted the rod like heaps to be tight on and dont have much more threads on the rod so thinking it might go high on boost level.

atleast your getting some pressure now.

What ECU have you got?

Take it to your tuner, see what he thinks of the actuator, its possible you may need a better one...

your EBC works off the boost pressure and not what the actuators doing.

but if your actuator is not allowing the wastegate flap to open or your wastegate flap is stiff or is having trouble moving then your going to have issues anyways.

take it get tuned and see what happens, its a bit hard to diagnose over the net...

if the turbo is bigger than the stock one then 5psi won't really be much as it won't be in its effeciency range.

well guys took it for a tune and got checked out and my whole front compressor got munched as in chipped the blades off which was very upseting and dont no wat happend,,thought it might have been oil not going through but there was.I guess teach me not to buy china crap lol oh well backto the drawing board for me as ive just put the stock one on for now as it was.

pretty dissapointed to be honest.
