nicky Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hi guys.... i took my car for a drive yesterday night to the gym (which is 5 minutes away, so once the car had warmed up I gave her a little boot full and it didn't boost properly.... The screamer pipe doesn't kick in, the turbo wasn't fluttering like it normally does etc, what could this be? It also sounds like there's a blow coming from the exhaust not sure on what part... maybe the external gates loose or could I be right in thinking these are the signs of a cracked manifold? Any advice is helpful I'll be looking over the car when I get home as it was too late to look last night. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Is it actually boosting or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 It is getting boost, but not it's full amount and the screamer pipe is not engaging at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Sounds like a boost leak. Get a smoke tester on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Must be a boost leak. Wastegate hoses intact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
