94 Silvia Low Power and Strange Turbo noises!

[Mack613]

So just lately i have been noticing i have terrible power, almost seems like its bogging. Its basically stock, exhast intake and nothing else really. power seems way lower then it should be. Plugs are a touch lean but not that bad. Turbo sounds like sh**. Sounds like the blades are touching the housing . Wondering if my power loss issue is directly related to the turbo or if it would have contributing factors as well. I have narrowed it down to a couple options, help me out.!

Turbo blown..Fouled Injectors.Boost leak.Exhaust leakLow compression

tomorrow i will be checking shaft play, looking for leaks, checking o rings on injectors, compression testing .

will update.

i had the same thing happen on my sr. it ended up being that i blew out the turbo exh inlet gasket. i took a mirror and looked behind the flange on the mani and saw a was missing a chunk of gasket and i could feel the exhaust gas. didnt take to long to fix.

thats my guess too. my RB is leaking at the turbo/manifold area right now doing the same thing.

Bad news, took apart intake and associated piping. lots of shaft play as well as some minor scars on the housing inside.guess its time to start saving.
