like the title states....... running a rb20 with a rb25 stock turbo (i bought the vehicle with this set-up), it was/is running on 11 psi.

The situation: came home from work today and i may have pulled into the drive way a little more hot than normal, i heard a little thud along with a slight scrap sound. After that happened the turbo stopped boosting the way it was 15 minutes prior.

I noticed when I'm at a dead stop and I take off, in 1st gear obviously, my gauge stays on the vac side until about ~4500 rpm the it "starts" to build some. I'll continue as normal switching to 2nd vac goes to about ~25-30, I give it throttle and builds boost a sight bit quicker but not to. PLEASE HELP!

If the intercooler might have gotten cracked .. is there a way to go about pressure testing it?

either you lost a hose........or you locked up your turbo......either way, it should be easy to figure out, just open up the hood........
