Turbo not kicking in?Julioluko 09-25-2004, 01:19 PM Yeah more DSM shit, my turbo isn’t kicking in anymore; I don’t even hear it spool up. It used to give me pretty good boost but now there is no acceleration what so ever. What should I check out or replace? thanks in advace Shpyder 09-25-2004, 01:52 PM uh.....the turbo perhaps? kjewer1 09-25-2004, 03:47 PM That would be a good place to start :D Pull off the intake pipe and check for shaft play on the turbo. Just grab the wheel and move that bitch around. Some lateral (towards the housing) play is normal, but it should be a small amount. Push/pull in and out as well to check for thrust bearing condition. That where I tend to kill turbos ;) 97_3clipse 09-25-2004, 10:49 PM you could also check for exhaust leaks and check the waste gate acuator,might be fuctioning wrong Julioluko 09-26-2004, 12:25 AM Im pretty sure that there is no shaft play i checked it not to long ago, I think its what tells the turbo to kick in, actuator maybe? To tell you the truth i dont know what all the components are on the turbo. any help is appreciated. JoeWagon 09-26-2004, 12:56 AM the turbo spins because of exhaust gas. Nothing short of the turbo itself will cause it not to spin. If it wont build any boost, i'd check for leaks. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
