S13 SR20DET problems.. Please Help

[randrade]

I've had my '95 240sx for a few months now and i cant get it to run right. If I'm not in boost its all fine. Once I try to accelerate it wont build boost and boggs. I've changed the spark plugs, maf sensor, cas, and waste gate and its still doing it. When i bought the car i was told there was a ROM tune on and theres a turbonetics gt3076 turbo. I'm lost right now and dont know what else to do now.

try checking and inspecting the turbo itself... it could be the spindle on the turbo.. there could also be boost leaks or a hole on the downpipe or turbo manifold... my friend had the same problem on his s14 but i forgot how he fixed it

i found the issue, and i feel pretty dumb about it too. i checked everything for leaks before i posted this, then went to a friends house and he found the leak. it was on the intake side of the piping basically right off of the intake. i put a temp fix on it for now and a friend is gonna weld it all up shut for me soon. thanks for the input though.

no prob im sure you can find another manifold around zilvia or craigs for cheap.. sometimes its the simplest things we miss hahaha
