hows it goin lads, i fitted a new turbo elbow a couple of weeks ago and ever since the car wont boost past .5 bar, on light acceleration it starts to hesitate and slightly backfire, its grand on full throttle but still wont go past .5 bar, the dumpvalve isnt as loud either,
any suggestions on how i can fix the beast,
cheers
You sure you didn't move the actuator.....! Sounds strange..........!Quote:

well did u fit nd wire up da 02 sensor in da exaust elbow?cuda damaged a wire r sumit take'n it off
was thinking maybe it was wanked alright, it could hav taken a knock when i was refiting it................... would it be just a matter of seeing if theres movement in it? hopefully its just a leak in a joiner on th IC pipe, might hav ta just save up and ship her off ta stivQuote:

What turbo are you running and what elbo did you fit?
Sounds to me like a stuck wastegate penny.
BTW, dump valve won't be as loud cos its not venting as much boost as normal
@s15 spec r...did ya not check it for boost leak yest or anythin after i was tlkin to ya??
@doyler he changed all the gaskets wen he had it out
@nissan doc he runnin t28r wit japspeed elbow
sorted her today boyos, the rubber joiner from the hot pipe to the turbo inlet was split the whole way down, back too full boost now, nice improvement with the elbow fitted too woop woop
