i have owned this car for a little over 2-3 months and have loved it ever since today i think the turbo went out on me not sure why im only running 7lbs of boost and i turbo time it for 20 seconds every time i shut the car off. the car is making some weird noise but it does not smoke or burn oil. i am going to do a compression test tomorrow and ill go from there. since i am new to this i dont know what turbo to get just get another t25 or will something a little bigger but just wanting to fix the problem

Welcome!

[ToFastForu_99]

thanks. nice build thread.

[Wc240]

welcome. need pics, and of your dsm's(love em)howd you work at a shop for 3 years getting a cert that requires 5 years?

[Dattebayo]

lol ur car is making a "weird noise" and your solution is to put more power in it. Man, what a guy!

[ToFastForu_99]

Yah im trying to figure out how to get pics loaded. i got my cert with two years of schooling and then you needed 2 years of actual work under your belt sorta speak and then i got my cert. as far as the werid noise i am about to check the shaft play on it and im not throwing more power at it im going to replace the turbo with the same one that is on it. I am not the guy to cut corners just for a few extra HP. another question since im just getting used to this fourm is there any upgrade paths or tutorials on here?

[baron_harkkonen]

Welcome homie!! Nice parts list. Pics? Yes, no, I'll even accept a maybe?

[Dattebayo]

is there any upgrade paths or tutorials on here?

Yeah, go to the home page and look for "tech pages".

[ToFastForu_99]

so i checked the shaft play and there was no in and out play but a little side to side. the fins look good. but i only took off the intake pipe. the noise is like a loud screeching noise only under boost. i did not have time to do a compression test but i will tomorrow. any help ... so far I'm loving this forum its a little different from my dsmtuners forum but I like it.

[ToFastForu_99]

go to imageshack.us.browse your computer from the site and add all the pics you wanna upload.upload pics and copy the image codes.

Paste images codes and post.Then just stand back and watch.

Alternatively you could start a photobucket.com account and just upload everything there.
