while driving yesterday up the high way, my car suddenly shuttered, and pooof, a big black cloud of smoke shot out behind me, then all seemed fine, but once taking of again i wasnt blowing smoke, wasnt shuttering, but on boost the turbo would spool up as usuall, then once about 2-3k rpm the turbo spool just goes nuts, its still a smooth ride but the sound is like the turbs is gonna spin itsself inside out..

now i have a faulty silicone joiner on the i/c piping, could this of just busted??

maybe a dead gasket,

or am i going to have to burry my turbo

cheers guys

cheers guys, now the hunt for it :P

ok i poped the hood and found the internal gate had a hose blown of it.. the hose feed back to the hks ebc black box thing in the hook.. would this of caused the big smoke puff and dodgy spool up... btw i cant drive it as my dash is out :) just wana know if this could of caused it

    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
    • With ordering the belt, you're doing water pump and the idler and tensioner at the same time too yes?
    • This is just a dumb way of keeping the wastegate closed to make more boost. Undo it and either follow the factory setup or redo it properly. Manual boost controllers just use a spring preload to determine when to close in response to boost pressure so it no longer vents to atmosphere.
    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House
