newbee: No power

[veecee]

DAMN...

that sump is blue...

and that was a very good writeup vlade.

nice one!

if you are like me theo, you just remove all that idling, cold start and emissions crap, and throw it away!!! it looks much neater, and is much easier to troubleshoot!

what exactly do you mean by spooling???

turbo's hiss and whine and make all sorts of noises. accept it. but learn to know which are bad noises and which are not!!!

if you think its boosting and you have no power, then it could be all sorts of problems, and we will need more info so that we can give good advice!

Thanx so much for the top response, i check all the pipes, no leaks.
Iv checked the turbo, its free, can turn it by hand, turns wen i start the engine.

all pipes r clean n no blockages.

How do i connect a boost gauge?
How do i test acuater?

actuator arm is intact n tight. idles perfect wid no hiccups.

Wat else to i check for?

Ok, i just everything back together, took it for a drive, its sum power now.
launched at 4200rpm, car slides

but it got toooooo much lag, only feeling the power at 4200rpm, is that right?

O and found out how to fit a boost gauge. thank to future rama

Check your timing...that plays a vital role.
