Thumbs up turbos in

the crx is turbo'd. i still need to tune my ecu and also figure out why i am only getting 0-1psi. Turbo seems to be in great condition, no oil leaks or anything. I will try and get some pictures up here as soon as i have time. I can't wait to show her off!!!

Haha, sounds like a boost leak man? You ever done a boost leak test? First off make sure your blow off valve has a pressure source ran to it, second, run a boost leak test, as that probably is your problem. If that comes out negative, then all I could think of would be your wastegate. But always do a boost leak test first. If you need any help just let me know I'm right down the street. Pngogrande1 is the AIM name. I wont be of much use today since its the 4th and alot of my friends are coming into town for a party we're having, and I'm apt to be a little intoxicated if you will, but after today I'm willing to help.

Hey, if you feel like a small road trip, bring that thing up to Fast Freddy's in Salem one Saturday. It would be nice to see some more imports there that are pushing more than 95 hp.
