BigDino Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 My car whines on acceleration and there is no boost, could this be the first turbo knackered which is not spooling up the second one hence no boost? Checked the pipes none seem to be off or split. When you squeeze the turbo pipe there is some resistance but not much??? Any help idea's appreciated, Also if it is goosed who is best to send them too to get rebuilt maybe hybrid them? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDino Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Not quite, Sounded like you were moving quite quickly, I've hardly got any power at all the turbo's are just not kicking in just whinning, I managed 65mph down hill lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, have you checked all your pipes etc, sounds like a major boost leak, if a pipe was off totally it would not run as uk`s use an air flow meter, there is a pressure test you can carry out.

BigDino Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 Aye we removed the turbo, which we were checking for pressure once removed it just cut out. Had a good look around even had it up on the ramp and all the pipes seemed to be on, He's going to check the bearing tonight in the turbo's to see if there is any play. Couldn't do it yesterday as it was still hot. The supra's take awhile to cool off don't they lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
