turbo not working?
Turbo Mini Forums

hi all finally sorted my gear selector problems and thought ive give the car a run out. when i was driving it the car seemed fine but i think its running a bit rich im booked on the rollers this week so that will get sorted. but the problem is im not getting any boost what so ever. when i start the car it reeds -20 InHg and when im driving it rises to 0 and thats it. ive checked my actuator and its fitted with the wastgate closed and ive checked my boost controller and turn that right up and still nothing. oh ive got a 998 with a R5 T2 turbo

are you deffinately sure the wastegate is being kept shut? the actuator might be holding it open or it may have broke and with the slightest bit of boost it may open it?

im sure i checked it today but it might be the bracket bending under boost

check for it stuck open, try compressed air to see if it works

i took my actuator off today and the wastegate moves freely and then i mounted it closed i just cant see the problem

edited my post* now its correct

double*

Have you put any preload on the actuator ?

You say 'mounted it closed'.

You need t preload the actuator arm. Meaning that you will need to adjust the arm until it needs to be 'stretched' when fitting.
