Excuse me copy and pasting this from another forum. I know gt17 are popular on minis so thought i would try here:
Recon turbo, new turbo set up on my charade, similar to starlet. Replaced the turbo for a recon as no boost and suspected turbo. New recon turbo in and still no boost. Car cuts out with intercooler pipes blocked which indicates no boost leaks. External wastegate sealing ring in.

Ive swapped so many turbos on my starlet i thought i could solve it. Got me stumped, turbo primed with start up oil that came with it and prined without efi like starlet.

Its a garret gt17, rotated the turbo housing slightly also. Any more things to try?i

is the engine under load or are you just revving it in neutral?
