ok, I know this has been coverd before but could u guys give me a some examples of a blown turbo. Is it possible for a turbo to make boost but not kick in hard and pull hard. I wouldnt think so, but my turbo is making boost just not a big punch like it used to, its like its smothed out kinda.But im just not sure if my turbo is failure.

 

You just got a chip and a boost gauge, didn't you?
What's your peak boost?

 

Yeah, somtimes i make up to 17psi and sometimes not.

 

Ok, good news got everything straighten out. I think it is just pulling smother than what i did before, I think the turbo is coming in a lil smother but hard also, i know it sounds werid but thats what it felt like.

 

Well, hey at least the turbo isn't gone. How many miles did you have on it when you got it chipped?

 

105,000mi

 

sometimes right after you chip the 1.8T you get stuff like slight engine knock as the car goes through its learning curve maybe thats what it was

 

That's about when I started to mod mine too. I wish I would have started earlier, but it wasn't until I moved here to Indy that I found a shop that specialized in that sort of thing.
