I was jumping on the freeway in 2nd gear with stock boost, suddenly the car sputtered and would no longer boost. still not fuel cut because there was no engine light. The car now blows a lot of smoke from the tail pipe. Blown turbo?, blown turbo seal? Rings? dunno someone help me
 thank you

To see if the wastegate is sticking you'll have to remove the DP from the turbo to see what the cause is, i.e. the actuator suddenly letting loose from the 'gate, or perhaps its simply stuck open, or if you use the aftermarket downpipe and you haven't taken a grinder to the flange then that could also be in the way.
If it were me i'd start simple and check and eye everything over closely for leaks and/or visible mechanical issues, but the problem sounds wastegate related to me like John said. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
