turbo problem

[syclone#2659]

ok here is the deal, today while getting on the highway, i accelerated up to speed. not wide open throttle or any thing but enough to get the turbo to about a pound or 2 of boost enough to get the turbo to whine a lil.... now when the truck would shift the psi on the turbo dropped down and then slowly built up to 2 pounds again...but.. then the truck shifted into 3rd gear and it did the same thing. it does this from drive, and overdrive. the truck is stock. also my turbo seems like im not getting more than 10 psi of boost. i checked all the vac lines and intercooler lines for leaks, and made sure all stuff was tight.

Re: turbo problem

look at the compressor wheel and make sure it hasn't ingested some type of foreign material.

Re: turbo problem

ok the compressor wheel is shot! the fins are chipped bent broken.....bad bad bad. now what do i do? should i get a stocker? or should i get a upgrade? what size for a stock truck. motor was rebuilt stock. i will eventually will be getting a ajustable fpr. manual boost controller 3 bar and a custom burn chip. for the truck. what size should i get if i upgrade, and will the truck be ok stock for a while if i upgrade?

Re: turbo problem

get a walbro fuel pump to then you can get a bigger turbo . and wait to get a chip burnt till you know for sure what turbo your going with i think it makes a difference

Re: turbo problem

i ajusted the wastegate , tightend up stuff around the turbo, ngk ur5 plugs, cap rotor, and now the truck is running 10 times better! , in sure im still not getting full power from the turbo because of the fins, but now i can save the turbo money and get a fpr, boost gauge, 3 bar, chip, ext with the money i saved by not getting a turbo
