turbo losing power

[jova1565]

i bought a turbo kit from one of my friends but it seems to be losing power like before it had more to it but it has been used for a long time any ideas of what it can be...

Check for shaft play and has your car been tuned ?

no tune and ive been thinkin bout gettin a new turbo kit instead of messin around with this one been thru too much...

Check for shaft play... Boost leaks... Ect.. do a compression check... Is it smoking at all?

And i cannot insist enough to get it tuned!!! Its one of the best investments for any car, especially turbo.

It smokes when it boost but last time I checked it had lil shaft play

[toddmsc]

re-check your shaft play... take the filter off the turbo and see if there is oil in the compressor housing.. also take the inter cooler piping off the turbo itself double check to see if theres any in the piping..

whats on it for a restrictor?

is your drain as short as possible with no more then 45 degree bends?


i have a garrett turbo for sale if you need a new turbo, its almost equivalent to a gt30
a/r: 60
.82 exhaust
small 4 bolt down pipe

I'll check in am and restrictor for what?

[toddmsc]

restrictor in your turbo feed line.. should be at the turbo end of the feed line..
