Alexwo1 · **dead turbo?**

hi, i was driving along the road when suddenly i had no boost...boosting completly stoped. No engine lights and car runs fine. I first thought the turbo died because i was getting oil in my antifreeze...but im not sure now...what other problems could cause this thanks....also if i decided to sell the car how much would i get..its a 91 75k miles..good head..lots of new stuff

Is it a TIII? If so certain sensor failures can cause the turbo to drop it's maximum boost pressure. I would check for codes.

I have a feeling you had an IC hose come off.

Or he lost the cotter pin to his wastegate rod...

Im thinking IC hose also, even if you unhook the wastegate you can still make about 6 psi. The antifreeze in the oil is a bad thing, possible headgasket, but that wouldnt stop the car from seeing pressure.

I recently lost the cotter pin holding my wastegate rod in place and I saw *ZERO* boost...

True... lots of simple things it could be. I wouldn't be worried about selling it. Odds are it's something small.
