VIL Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Guys can you help. I am pretty sure the 2nd turbo is not kicking in and need a bit of help. I have read a few threads including Ian's which is very helpful but the attached pictures are not opening http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=27904 Can anyone point me in the right direction as to the hoses, bits etc I need to check? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edge Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Go round and check all the rubber hoses around the turbo areas. Mine looked ok until i started taking them off then found a few tiny cracks which caused strange problems with number 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Perhaps you should elaborate with the symptoms a little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIL Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 It just feels like I am not getting any 2nd boost at ~4000rpm. No1 seems fine but if I gradually increase revs there is no second kick? Plus if I floor it it just doesent feel as quick? Just had a quick look round the hoses but to be honest I cant see much and dont want to start pulling off old hoses and make things worse! What is the best way to check if No2 is working (without having any boost guages etc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviekid Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 What is the best way to check if No2 is working (without having any boost guages etc)? You really would be better off getting a boost gauge. Without being BPU where you can feel an obvious "second surge" it's hard to tell exactly what's going on without one. A cheapo one would do for fault diagnosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
