Blown Turbo?

[DLuded]

well recently my car has been running as if it has no power at all. last night i counted how long 0-100km/h takes (getting a g-tech soon but was bored). it was VERY VERY slow

on start up there is more than usual white smoke coming out the exhaust but a few cars do that

when i put my foot down it seems as if the car has nothing. it feels as if the car is struggling. the power doesnt feel smooth it feels like the car is jerking back and forth

i was just wondering is there an easy way to tell if the turbo is gone besides taking it off. i hope its just the turbo and nothing major because i have a gt2530 on the way. also would it be wise when taking it to the workshop to get the intercooler, turbo, injectors and chipped ECU installed to ask them to see what the problem is first? i mean i am willing to spend the estra few hundred $$$ because i dont want to realise that the engine has shat itself after i have spent money installing all the new gear on it

Do you have an incar boost guage? If so does it read any boost when your floor it? Pretty easy way to tell if you've lost your exhaust wheel etc.

i blew one of my exhaust wheel off, car backfired alot, splutters around etc, and diddn't make any boost ...

taking off the dump pipe or checking your cat for an impeller would be the only real way, or take off the intake piping and rev it see if you get the whistle of the air when revving, if u dont = probably no turbine...

check to see if it makes any boost would be the first way find out, check intercooler pipes etc and tap your cat with a spanner and see if it has anything in it , see if any have blown off...

yeah i have an aftermarket boost guage

on my old boost guage (which was stolen and read in PSI) it boosted till about 12.5psi

my new boost guage (which reads in BARS) read 0.7 bars which is about 10.5psi

That happendd to me, bout 2 months ago. but was just the intercooler pipe coming off, if any help ckeck all your piping.

they blow a f**k load of white smoke when the turbo seals go cuz thats what happened when i f**ked my turbo. Cuz oil goes into the exhaust and through intercooler. Maybe yours are leaking but not completely gone??

i was driving today and heard a pop noise then the car stalled. pulled over and a coolre pipe has poppes off. fixed it but not 100% sure that was the original problem
