'Missing' Turbo

(1/3) > >>

Evilgoat:
Yesterday I did a long distance run, all  throughout the run the car didnt 'feel' right. Driving it totday I realised that I dont apear to have a tubro anymore. When pulling away I was waiting for the kick as the turbo came in and nothing. Windows down, no turbo whine from the holy exhaust, there was.

Had the hose off the front, turbo is free to spin. Wastegate is free to move and is returning correctly. Running it without the intake hose and its audible. All seems well but I just cant feel it kick in, which suggests to me theres no fuel boost going on. I cant actually get the wategate to actuate by pressurising the system (Inlet hose to plenum chamber, removed clamped and reved) so I'm open to there being an air leak someplace. I HAVE just changed the fuel filter and I'm sure I've felt her 'hunting' when on the road last night.

Any ideas?

Split intercooler pipes or hole in intercooler?

Maintianing pressure ok, went right for the bottom hose but they are all intact. Nothing delaminated either.

Might get some Silicon hoses when she's sorted though.

L90OOK:
Is it smoking more?  Used more fuel than normal on the run?

Bunnie:
parently its not smoking but the fuel consumption was crap
