I think that your turbo is low on freon... just add some more to the freon reservoir. J/K

There's nothing to freeze in a turbo. Unless you're freezing the oil... but it's going to be very very very cold before that happens.

Well, I suppose you can freeze coolant in the turbo, but that it will have no effect on the bearings and oil as they are completely separated.

Maybe letting the car warm up before going WOT? It needs to warm up a bit before you try and push the car....

I think he meant there is considerably more lag now than when it was new. Hmm.. Wonder if he got a massive leak somewhere.

thats actually an easy fix... after you start the car pull onto the street. hold the clutch in and rev it to the limiter and slip... i repeat slip the clutch.. if u dump it might ruin the car..

doing this is kinda like a jump start when your car's batt is dead...

Is your car fully warmed up before you get on it? What year, mods, any previous issues with your car?

what are you talking about, "freeze" The turbo is one of the hottest pieces of metal in your engine bay, it does the opposite of freezing. If your turbo is not spooling up and boosting then there may be a leak or something worse.

yeah man, check your clamps probably a leak. if you "blew" your turbo, you'd probably be noticing some smoke out of your exhuast
