No boost and I can hear the turbo clicking/releasing pressure when I change gears.

Attached is my recording.

I look forward to all of your advice.

Best Regards,

 

bye bye turbo sound like its a bearing failure..You need a new tubo or rebuild this one..

Have u done a boost leak test? 0psi boost probably = seized turbo. Take off intake pipe and see if you can turn the compressor by hand.

 

maybe cause im tired or just optimistic, i was hoping it wasn't the turbo on the way out. just youtubed other videos of people with blown turbos and same f'n whine.

Thank you for pointing out what should have been the obvious.

 

Yeah, sometime during the day I was gonna disconnect the hoses and find the shaft and see if there is play.

Worst part is .. I just picked it up on wednesday and already this

 

No big deal. You can pick up a used stock turbo on these forums pretty cheap. There's one listed right now for $380.

It's a IX turbo too. You'll pick up a little power up top from it.

 

^ yup a 9 turbo is great for Evo 8's Hope this doesn't happen to my 8 turbo..

 

try doing a boost leak test first then if you find out it turbo gone itll be good excuse to upgrade

 

It would be hard to tell your turbo bearings are shot from this video. But if they are (there's two of them), don't drive the car because failure can take out everything else too.

Might also be a diverter valve on wrong with hoses all messed up or something to that extent. You should take it to a local friend with experience on these cars.

Is it boosting at least 10 psi?

If your worried about bearings, drain oil into clean black bucket and let it continue dripping for several hours. Slowly decant the oil into another container taking care not to disturb any stuff on the bottom. Leave a film of oil in the original bucket and veiw in direct sunlight. Look for very small copper and metallic shards and specks. Also look for other debris that may be in there grey in colour and responsive to magnet.

Dont bother cutting open filter because that doesn't show anything until way too late.

You can also send off a sample but results can vary significantly depending on how and when you obtained a sample.


If nothing something is just hooked up wrong

 

Whats that suppose to mean??

No problem I know that feeling you were hoping it wasn't the turbo but it was did you check the whee for shaft play..The best way is spin it slowly and out your head as close as you can go to the turbo and see if the play and touch the housing if they do and make the cling sound it's your bearings..Now you have a excuse to buy a fp red or green and your be more then happy your stock turbo failed.
