Hey everyone I have a 200 180 fwd, with 196k.. As I was driving the other day it was running like normal. Then it stopped boosting I can step on it and it just goes straight to 0 and doesn't move up at all I feel like it still as some boost but it's hitting 0 hard and doesn't do anything else can you guys help me

 

Check through the ic piping and intake manifold for boost leaks and tears in the hoses. If that checks out ok, pull off the TIP and check the play on the turbo. If it moves more than a mm side to side or in and out, your turbo is busted. Im leaning more toward a dead turbo since if you made 0 psi, you car would studder and stall if you tried to rev over 2-3k.

 

Hey thanks my car doesn't stall or anything it's been studdering for a while now. What's a TIP and where is it I still feel Like the car gets boost I'll step on it and evenuallly it hits in a little.

 

Also I still hear my bov... And I can hear my turbo.....

 

so does the car still feel normal or slower? If its normal, i say your gauge took a dump.

TIP = turbo inlet pipe. It connects the maf and turbo
