only 10Hg at WOT

[Moparbishi]

since i hooked up the intake on the turbo and intercooler. i am only getting 10 hg at wot and my car is sloooowwww. is this couse of all the restriction from the crappy turbo?

me thinks your gauge is hooked up incorrectly.

[xrattiracer]

if the car is also slow then i wouldnt think its just the gauge. look for a restriction before the turbo, like severely clogged air filter or collapsing hose, etc.

[Moparbishi]

the turbo is a restriction seeing as how it dont spool so would that be it?

[mwinkle353]

take the pipe from the turbo's compressor outlet off. Then run the car with just the throttlebody and a filter. Second, disconnect the wastegate actuator from the turbo. It's still going to be a huge exhaust restriction. But if you open it up as much as possible, it won't be an enimic performer.

even a small turbo will make some boost. it would take a VERY small turbo to keep the intake vacuum from going over 10 in hg.
and since it wont even reach 0 in hg at the intake, it shows a problem with the intake side of things, not exhaust.

i have ordered the rebuild kit and when it gets here i am rebuilding and porting the turbo. is there a break in time for tthe rebuilt turbo. or is just put it on drive and go??

[mwinkle353]

Just rebuild and go.

[Moparbishi]

kool so i might get to go to the track friday but unlikely

[mwinkle353]

Just remember the "priming" of the turbo before you go nuts with it on the first startup.
