No boost pressure
No boost pressure
Hey guys so real quick the cars got 9k miles on it and an MR never had a issue than last night driving bout 90 or so and the car lost all power was struggling to make boost The gauge showed in while I was in 5 cause the car would go into 6th gear was 1 maybe 2 lbs Of boost was in normal driving mode idk let me know if n e has had this problem car was fine after a min or 2 thanks
Take your intake off and check for turbo shaft play. I don't want to be negative but intermittent boost loss is frequently an early sign of turbo failure. It seems unlikely at 9,000mi but you never know and it's not terribly hard to check.
If a turbocharger doesn't produce enough boost pressure, it won't work. Low pressure can also be caused by leaking lines or gaskets (allowing pressure to escape before driving air into the cylinders, improper filter maintenance, and a worm or sticky poppet valve can also cause this condition.)
