last nite i was driving on the freeway and I got on it and Idk wat happened but it felt like my turbo wasn't working. I would downshift and get on it and nothing would happen. My BOV wasn't working either. So I pulled over and popped my hood and I heard a noise by the turbo. :/
I shut it off and tried to see if there was any lines or anything disconnected but all the lines were connected. I started it back up and the car started smoking a little from my exhaust so I shut it off and got it towed home. Wat do u think happened?

check your waste gate actuator, happened to me with my CA, i had a screamer pipe so it was very noticable though.

blown turbo, seals?

SR20Dave · 05-04-2012, 07:45 AM

I agree blown turbo seals. you might have even ceased and blown up the turbo. My first SR swap had a turbo that after a week whined like a power steering pump, and it turned out the bearings were shot along with the seals, and it was leaking oil both in the intake and burning some

I don't think the turbo blew up lol, as that makes some noise when it happens. all i know is 3/3 people ive talked to 4 including me say thats exactly what happens when the wastegate actuator falls off
