Brand new turbo

[Driftapparel.com]

I just replaced my t-25 with another brand new t-25 and broke it in for about 85-90 miles. I boosted a lil on the way to work today and the car started making weird sputtering sounds and is idling very rough. It actually stalled at the next light and I was able to baby the rest of the way. The car had little power is was weak.

I checked intake sensor and it was still in place. holy crap what happened!?

Thanks guys!

where did you get the turbo???

[boogerlovers]

boost leak...??? maybe you blew a coupler off...that could explain the rough idle and stalling

I looked under the hood and couldnt see anything right away however I was late for work and had to get in. everything externally looked fine.

I appreciate the help

The whole brand new T-25 has me doubting already about the actual quality of the turbo. Prolly egay shit.

You're not gonna like this...but if you have no coupler or other issues, sounds to me like the turbo is shot. After the car started to eat shit did you notice any smoke coming from the turbo housing itself? Is your car smoking?

No oil pressure to the turbo thus causing it to kind of seize?

[dirtdiggler666]

yeah that scares me because I had to have a custom hose made for the oil line and I thought it was a little wierd.

made in china lol.

Check all your couplers and vacuum hoses routing to the intake manifold.

Carb cleaner is your friend. Or soapy water. Check for any boost leaks.

ok well I just checked all the couplers and they are fine. the oil line to the turbo seems to be leaking slightly (very slightly) (a little bit is around the inlet into the turbo.

[downshift_sideways]

uh oh.

Might want to take out the inlet and check your turbo.
