I ripped the car off the line and it was going okay until about 3rd gear then I felt no power. Ever since then there has been no power at any point. It almost feels as if the turbo has died. The car runs fine otherwise, idles fine, shifts fine. The exhaust however has gotten super loud now.

I have no clue as to what this might be and it being 9pm I can't even bring it to my tuner to check out.

Any ideas?

 

Is there a really loud suction noise or a throaty intake sound like a cai? Loss of sudden power usually comes from disconnected pipes/ couplers. It may be something else, but this will kill any power since all your boost is given to mother nature.

 

Sounds like a boost leak/hose coupler blew off

 

I have had the Upper IC Pipe blow off before and it made that loud suction noise. I just don't hear any noise right now. The exhaust sound muffled not throaty. It is almost like the car went into limp mode. I'll check for the hoses and such tomorrow. I'm going to check the engine code as well maybe that will help.

 

hmm I just went and checked all the lines I could see and I did not notice anything out of the ordinary. You think the turbo could of just crapped out?

 

You have a check engine light on? Or just going to see if there's one?

 

.....

 

Check your licp...is hard to see from the top...if you have a cel after all that def read the code

 

It was like distorted exhaust sound but louder than ordinary. CEL is on but has always been on thanks to no cat. LICP looked okay from what I saw. I checked out the UICP as well. My buddy is coming over in the morning and I'm going to check the code. Other than it being loud and running with no boost it seems to be normal.

 

If yoy had a coupler blow you would probably be able to hear that air escaping.....do u hear it ? Whn I get one that blows off when I'm boosting I get no power but I can hear the air coming out...exhaust does sound a bit distorted too

 

I found the problem whenI took off the heat shield I noticed the part that screws onto the WGA had fallen off. So car was getting no boost. Now the question is do I need to make the WGA Tigheter to get more boost or leave it looser to get more boost?

 

Tightening makes it hold more. I would try to get it to where it was stock if u can
