Hey guys
bad news
well m,y turbo went bad, and wont warrenty it due to my mods I have seen that there are a few members on here who have already upgraded there stock RA turbos, I wanted to ask those fine members if any of you would be kind enough to sell me the stock turbo, please PM ME

 

Your turbo is dead? Hard to believe...
Have you done boost leak testing? It has the same effects as a blown turbo.
Maybe AMS has one for sale. I know they have a EVO X turbo for sale. You'll need the evo x manifold as well.

 

Make sure the Intercooler piping is all connected and clamp down.

 

Yeah a tdo4 usually can take 40-60k miles of harsh elements before it blows.

 

check for boost leaks, search this forum on how to make a boost leak tester with parts from home depot for like 10 bux, not even

 

there would be a oil puddle if you actually blew the turbo.

 

Could it be the wastegate?

 

possibly. are all your vacuum lines in check? if your actuator isn't getting a boost signal then the turbo is operating off whatever the base spring pressure is in the actuator. (no clue what that is on the RA)



what problems are you experiencing for you to say that your turbo is shot?

more info is definetly required to help you troubleshoot.

 

If I was in your position, I'd try my best to go back to stock and try my luck - unethical I know, but eh.

 

Does your boost gauge read normal psi? Does it pull normal?

 

Have to agree with everyone else your parts list isn't enough for it to crap itself.

 

Yes I know to. Turbo still spools just dosnt hold boost at all I have zero pounds of boost on wot. Car accelrates ****y. Seems as slow if not slower than a Gts. Me and my friend looked at it and he belives it's the wastegate. If it is I found a stock evo x wg for 80 bucks shipped. So if that's the case I will just do that.

 

keep us posted.. if yours went out good chance we will see more of these problems in the future... if this is a wastegate... do a official thread and may be mods will sticky it...

thanks...

 

no boost sounds more like a leak in the plumbing. Go over all your connections starting at charge side turbo outlet. go over all those clamps. double check vacuum lines for cracks.

i've yet to look at the stock wastegate on these cars. I assume they're actuated like every other oem internally wastegated vehicle. with a actuator with a spring and diaphram? if so double check the actuator arm is still attached to the wastegate flap. this could be your problem since all your exhaust pressure would be going straight out the exhaust and not spinning your turbo to creat boost pressure.

Keep us posted.

 

Will the X WG fit with our turbo set up?
