I have a completely stock 2010 Ralliart with just over 100k miles. This morning when I went to work my turbo was not working. It didnt make any sort of noise etc, just stopped.

1. Is it going to jack anything up if I drive it with the turbo not working?

2. Is there anything that I can check or try to get it working again?

Thanks in advance!

 

Explain how it's not working? How do you know your turbo is broken? Normally it would make a terrible sound while driving if it were.

 

Check to make sure the waste gate rod hasn't come off the flapper. Mine came off a few days ago on my 9 and it would just hit 0psi. Didn't make no kinda noise, didn't drive strange, just didn't boost.

 

Also check to make sure your UICP didn't pop off. Could just have a massive boost leak.

 

You pointed me in the right direction, both bolts had completely come out of the bracket that holds the waste gate and it was just dangling there. Got it bolted back up but it still didnt produce any boost. Guess Im gonna have to suck it up and take it in...

 

Can someone recommend a wastegate to get?

 

I used a turbosmart unit.
You will need to get a knuckle made up by a machine shop(I'm a machinist so I did it myself)
or modify the old one. The thread for it is a 1/4-27 I believe.
I ordered the one with the 24 psi setting(10# 11# and a 3#).
Then took out everything but the 10 pound, and run 23pounds of boost now(because of my tune no just because I changed the WGA)
