Yeah man sure did ...Heres something I troubleshooted today ...I have a exhaust leak between my manafold and head ..I also had a bad leak where my oil feed was. I just got my brand new OIL Feed kit intoday and replaced it. Im in the process of buying a new manafold gasket. This is the only thing left to wonder.

 

I guess so...however. I can't say that bad oil pressure caused this, because although you would have eaten the bearing up, it stil lwould have at least boosted SOME...let us know how the gasket works out...

 

so wheres my 10 bucks?? hehe

Hopefully this works out for ya man, any other questions hit me up. If you have a leaking mani that means that your not going into boost and your staying in vacuume. So this could be possible just think of how much air you can only suck in through the turbine if it isn't spooling hardly at all that is why it was staying in vacuume and had it fucked up a little bit.

 

I thought he was talking about exhaust mani though....of course this would mean not enough exhaust through the turbo...but that would have to be a hellacious leak to not spin it at all...

Yes, I said hellacious.

 

true but what about the pressure drop from the turbo to the intake mani? could still stay in vacuum yeah i was talking about the mani too, my car didn't built any boost when i took it out for a test drive and i forgot to plug up the EGT hole like a dumbass

 

I am getting confused now...surprise...but what are you saying? Did he get a measurement of the pressure in the charge pipes or just the gauge in the intake mani?

 

Cool man !! I pray to go it fixes it ...It was a pretty gnarly leak ...9yes i said gnarly):_D ...Like blowing out the side and bottum when i reved it ...

 

Sweet...sounds like you found your monster then. Congrats! (maybe premature, but oh well)

 

i will try to explain best i can.

ok, when your turbo is spooling it has a pressure drop from the turbine to the mani because it isn't going to stay at the same rate it came out of the turbo air slows down thats what it does. He is getting his ready from the mani which is still is vacuume he could accually be seeing 1 or 2 psi at the turbo since it is still spooling but he won't see anything on the guage just a jump in vacuume since he isn't getting hardly any air. Next thing yeah if it was blowing out the sides and the bottom there is your problem also the correct unblocked oil line kit is gonan help out the turbos life too.

 

ahhhh...I see what you're saying now. cool.
