I have got no boost all of a sudden. Any ideas?

 

do you have a boost gauge? what year is the car.

is it making 0.5bar ish.. ie. actuator pressure or 0bar..

if 0.5bar then the ecu could have pulled the boost back due to a problem, or the boost solenoid could be sticking, or you have a small leak so the turbo cannot produce the pressure needed as you are charging the engine bay not the inlet..

if 0bar then most likely a large intercooler pipe leak, or turbo has had it.. but likely to come with noise and holding back etc..

A smallish rod on the turbo, mabye connecting the actuator to the wastegate had come off. A little c clip had come off thank god.

Full boost now as before there was none at all.

Cheers

 

excellent.. forgot in my quick reply about the possibility of that

 

Cheers for the info anyhow. While Im on it's a 98 S turbo 2000. Now I know you can't map these ecu's. What could I get done to it as I beleive you are the man to see about ecu's?

 

Apexi Powerfc easiest route.. but there are other options.. depending on your plans etc.. see www.JollyGreenMonster.com - Engine management specialist
