Boost question

[Ty / 6R]

IM looking at a Typhoon that doesn't build boost. Is there anything that I should check? Possibly just the wastegate stuck open?

Im open to suggestions since you guys are the Sy/Ty experts.

Thanks

Ild check the turbo to IC pipe/hose for a large rip. Usually at the bend. Is the truck stock?

Re: Boost question

It appears to be a stock turbo

no expert needed to tell you the stock WG is undersized, old, and probably sticky as hell...even if it "works" as it should, it still doesn't work well....you can adjst it all day long, but if its like many (mine included) then it just a POS. My problem was sollved later when I went with a PTE turbo kit. There could be other factors as well...look for vacuum leaks in your vacuum lines, especially if they are the stock hard ones and not silicone. Could be a leak elsewhere like TYTILIDIE said.

what turbo to you have? TC do you have? Stock motor?

Re: Boost question

If the hoses look ok, you might want to pull the intake hose off the turbo and check to make sure that it's not siezed. Also check the condition of the compressor blades and for any excessive shaft play.

Good idea...that could also lead to blown motor.
