turbo failure ??

Hi everyone!

Huge problem:(:(

I'm afraid my turbo's are gone:scared:...it happenned while I was driving:

they were fine(Iwas driving for about 200 miles,at about60-80 mph)

and then they just didn't:taped:..

 

They are stock jap ones and when I get to 2200revs and over, when normaly the 1st turbo kicks in, nothing happens. The rev goes further-if I hit it- the car moves but...:(I'm ashamed to say that..like a...opel or ford or something

 

Is there any chance that because of the road-it was kind of bumpy-

some switch/plug or anything unplugged itself and disengaged turbo?

 

Wanted to mention as well that I have a hks bov that obviously, doesn't "sound" anymore....The turbosounds like it is spining,but not with the same power and it doesn't have that"aerolift" sound any more..

 

If anyone could help me in any way, please..as I'm very reluctant in taking the car to a garage where I am now-they probably haven't seen a Supe before...

Thanks,

K

sounds like a intercooler pipe may have come off? check the pipes. if this happens, that is what will happen...;)

 

Fingers crossed...but Idon't know if I'm that lucky...

The nasty thing is that I had to drive another 500 miles with it like this....and there is a good chance thet further damage could have happened..

Will try that tommorow for sure.Thanks for the reply, dude!
