Please guys HELP !!! today I drove my car to work no problem... normal driving boosting....

When I started my car and head back home I feel no power on the boost gauge got no bvoosting and I can't hear the turbo spooling....

The turbo I just have a shop install new one a week ago (the other one was leaking oil)

Please help


thanks

 

Piping came loose somewhere. Check all your couplings.

 

I hope is just that... I',m gonna lift the car tomorrow...

last year a pipe came loose but I heard the turbo spooling ...

 

Sorry to hear, man. Bring it back to the shop.

 

The shop might not have got the clamps tight coming off the turbo and it blew the pipe off. Just a thought. It happens... Check your piping then vacuum lines. I bet it is a coupler.

 

I know bro I just pay $4100

 

Call me if you feel like drinking your worries away.

 

Thanks bro But this really sucks....

 

It's probably just a leak. Jack the car up and look and listen. I'm sure that's all it is.

 

Thanks for the imput

 

Yep.

 

No, its not just a leak. You got a big *** leak. 0psi is no air gettin to the turbo. This happened to me once and my wastegate broke off the pipe and was hanging by safty wire. Make sure you dont drive till you figure this out. If you drive with yourwastegate pipe broken, you will cause some damage.

also, if this is the case, i have a spare up-pipe for you.

 

Sorry to hear man! lmk if you need help!! im 5 min away. sounds like something came loose

 

Thanks Ed. You think you can take a look @ this? Ill pick you up...

and yes if it is the wastegate ill buy it from you...

Ill give you a call later today

 

Thanks Vas

 

Pick me up!?! wtf. lol. you're gonna drive all the from NY to here and then back and then here again. I would love to help but im sure youll find the problem as soon as you get under the car. A turbo leak causing no boost will always hit you in the face, very easy to find.

BTW, did you notice a change in the z's exhaust tone.

Here a couple of pics where my welds broke and caused a leak. check these areas

This pipe is the one that goes to the uppipe and bolts to your ac compressor



Also this is the wastegate pipe that connects to the uppipe. You can see where it totaly broke up. Check that area too

 

Hey vas, hows the suspension doin. ANy problems? Also did you get that camber arm installed?

 

Yeah man its sick! and looks great.. got a little lower too. I didnt install my arms yes..hopefully they dont charge a **** load.. bc IAM broke now that i dumbed a lot of money into the vortech lol. If anything ill come backk

 

OP, anyword yet? I bet a charge pipe just popped off somewhere.

 

Its probably just a pipe blown off. If it doesnt boost at all then its completely off. This would be easy to see. If it is a major exhaust leak then it would be loud as hell now.


Once a pipe is off, dont boost the car. It will damage the turbo without a doubt. The turbo need boost pressure to open the wastegate or it will just spin the max that it possibly can spin.
