Thread resurrection after over a decade. Just thought I would add to the list of solutions given in this thread for no boost on the second turbo. I’ve found this particular thread really useful for diagnosing and ruling out everything else.
The car had been off the road for many years until recently but it has always ran at BPU level 1.2 bar for pretty much all my ownership.
My car randomly lost boost last year whilst driving, there was no drama, no noise, no smoke or anything. First turbo came online but at 4000 Revs it dumped all boost. I went through everything suggested on this thread and discovered a few minor issues with my sequential system fixing them along the way. Turns out my major issue was the turbine wheel on the second turbo had sheared clean off. There was no debris so must have shot straight out the exhaust, it was literally the last thing possible that could have been the problem but should be sorted now after fitting a pair of hybrids from Whifbitz. I’ve learnt a lot from doing this work myself, and thanks to anyone that has helped with advice along the way.
Ive attached a couple of photos of what I found and what the stock turbos should look like with a turbine wheel attached for reference.
Maybe this post will help someone else in the future, it’s probably the worst case scenario but just shows it can happen without any symptoms or warning.
