PROBLEM UPDATE!!! on last post

Ok well I bought an new exhuast manifold for my car the other day and after screwing with it for 2 days its finally back together. It was a nightmare for some reason and i snapped the 2 studs on the stock turbo and had to get them out. But after all was done Everything was hooked back up fine but I have no boost!!! Now all that happened is I took off the downpipe, intercooler pipe, oil and coolant lines, intake and took turbo out and put it back in. I put all new gaskets in and all of what I just listed is fine and not leaking, Now I have a check engine light and it doesnt build any boost and its so slow. Any suggestions on what could have happened? One other thing to mention was my tool friend somehow dropped my turbo and bent my wastegate actuator a little. But i bent it back a little and really didnt seem like it was bent. What could this be my car sounds so much nicer but i want it to go fast again. Boost lines are fine also just to add. Thanks fellow evoers

 

To start, see what code your car is throwing.

 

get the code read. did you boost leak test it? could be an exhaust leak some where pre/on turbo..

 

well I don't know what code is I don't have anything to read the codes, but I could go to the zone or something to see. and I will do a boost leak test probably tomorrow morning but im pretty sure its not a leak its all tight. but we know how those things hide themselves sometimes. But the thing is When i have boost leaks on my talon it still boost some and this is nothing. Also the check engine light went on the first day before I took my turbo out Because I put it in first then took it back out to fix a broken stud and was still there

 

thanks for the quick response guys. is there a way to tell if my wastegate actuator is broke or bent and not letting me boost?

 

Did you lose the clip on the wastegate actuator?

 

did you drop something into the turbo. I have seen it happen, like a washer or something!

 

the one that holds the arm to the o2 housing? no the clip on there is still intact on there i didnt touch it

 

No way I made sure I didnt. would that ruin the turbo though if that happened?

 

also, check to make sure the nipple coming off the dump pipe/j-pipe didn't get bent. can you turn the turbine wheel by hand? and do it gently as there could be something lodged in there. GL

 

yeah i can turn it by hand and the nipple isnt bent. When i drive it i feel like im in a honda with no power.lol

 

the exact same thing happened to me; my waste gate was stuck open.

 

same thing happend to me a few weeks ago, but my BOV broke...so i just bought a new one and now the boost is back.

 

Im hoping its just the wastegate. I already have a generous evo owner who will sell me another one. BOV should be fine i took my intake off and left the bov on the ic pipe

 

Ok so I checked my codes today and there was 3 of them that popped up twice. it was
PO134- O2 sensor CKT no activity
PO131- O2 sensor circuit low volts
PO135- O2 sensor heater circuit Malfunction

My sensor did get knocked pretty hard and my car was running without 2 bolts on my turbo for a few miles cause i drove to my friends house to fix it, and it sounded so loud with the two bolts not connecting the turbo to the manifold. Well Im going to get a sensor now and wire it in in an hour or so and see what happens after that. also could that be why my idle is a little higher? Also would this cause my car to not boost because its not reading anything?
