HELP PLEASE Is my turbo done for?? short&sweet

[jayj]

Alrighty so short and sweet. Just installed a garrett gt2871r in my 240. The previous t25 had no issues at all. In 3rd gear if i floor it i will hold about 5psi from 3k rpm and it wont begin to spool up more until around 4500, then full boost somewhere near 5k. Unhooked the wastegate vac line and it does the same thing. No abnormal noise or smoking coming from the turbo. Im tuned for the turbo and have all the appropriate mods. It runs great otherwise so im pretty sure i dont have any sort of boost leaks. And like i said the old t25 worked and spooled perfect before i swapped turbos. WTF!? looking for any suggestions before i shell out 300 for a rebuild

Most likely a boost leak.

turbo bearings are toasted

I'd say exhaust leak. Check your manifold and any exhaust connections

[jedi03]

how does it look on the turbines?

[jayj]

Turbo is practically brand new and it definitely isnt an exhaust leak there is no tick noise whatsoever. Could a boost leak be so minor it would cause the car to still drive normally minus this issue?

[KAT-PWR]

Yes..... Do a boost leak test.

Also, your car isn't driving normal if it's not boosting....
