what the heck happened? i looked it up but i dont understand.

0.48 kilopascal = 0.0696181 pound-force/square inch (PSI)

are you saying it just doenst boost much anymore?

.48kpa is what my safc told me, its like 8 or 9 pounds of boost. i turned the boost controller off for the way home cuz i didnt wanna get into programing it last night, and i guess when its off it lets you boost as much as you can. i wasnt gonna take it past 8. i got to a light and i just wanted to feel what 8lbs was like so when it turned green i took off. i think i was at like 7lbs when i shifted into 2nd, and then it climbed pretty quick back up to 6, then 7, then 8, and it was pulling so nice. i was very pleased.....and a few moments later i heard a THUNK! so i let off the throttle and when i got back on it itwouldnt boost any more. i thught it might have been that line from the wastegate that was loose, like it came of or something, but when i got home i checked and all the lines, hoses, and pipes look connected. so i'm pretty sure its a blown turbo.

we have another 15g at work, i'm trying to decide if i should just get that and replace the turbo, or sell all of the turbo and stuff and get an engine swap. it would be nice to build up a B16 or somethin......then later down the road maybe turbo that. who knows, i gotta see what my financial status tells me i can do first i guess.

that is odd...sounds exactly like a hose or something popped off. i'd say check again, and the actuator like jon said. it doesnt seem like the turbo would clunk going bad.

so i f you go through with a swap what are you going to do with all the turbo parts? sell it? keep it for later?

another cool swap would be a turbo ls. actually for a cost of a swap you could probably have a built turbo d16.

if you can't figure out the prob. i'd love to take a look at what happened. you got my number just give me a call.
