Cyanidesid Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hey peeps I recently installed a td04 turbo and manifold combo (internal waste gate ) and I don't seem to be hitting boost . On my boost gauge it goes from 20 to 0 and no further not even the dump valve works 😳 I've Bridged the acuator and turbo !! I've also taken off this pipe from the acuator and blocked it to see if I get boost and still nothing ! Also no loose pipes on fmic ect what's the next step? I have a emanage and boost controller yet to fit but I wanna get to the bottom of the boost issue before fitting these Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Turbo could be dead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Mate had the same issue the turbo was dead check your actuator and vac line as check for shaft play Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cyanidesid Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 there doesn't seem to be any play in the shaft !! Also for got to mention I don't have a air filter would this matter ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 No that won't mater I'm running no filter my mates shaft was solid at the time aswell no oil leaks present eather Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Did you prime the turbo befire starting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 If you have just Installed the turbo it's always good to poor oil into the oil line and crank it over couple times Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cyanidesid Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 It's a braided oil feed I did pour oil into where the oil goes in on the turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cyanidesid Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 The impeller is spinning up when running would this still do that even if turbo is goosed ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adzy Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Wastegate stuck open? Pull the actuator back and forward to make sure it's free Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cyanidesid Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Am I right in saying it should still boost up even on stock ecu and tuning ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haggis Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Goes from 20 to 0 ?? So its boosting then suddenly loosing it ?Vac leak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cyanidesid Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 No the gauge points to the left 20 when running and then once under load it goes to 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Yeah it will boost obviously without an map also check your actuator is holding the wastegate closed not open Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cyanidesid Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Good news got to the bottom of the issue Waste gate was stuck open due to acuator bar twisted . Can't wait to go boosting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Exactly what I was thinking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
