Slim To No Boost

[tank]

hi guys I was wondering if any could help me.

recently got a 2004 ba xr6 turbo mk 2, about a week ago I put on a blow off valve, a pod filter and installed the 10 psi tune off the xcal 3 chip. seemed to be going really well and had good boost, then in last few days it seems like I hav slim to no boost,and feels like im driving a N/A. any ideass????

Make sure there is no leaking/all piping is attached everywhere.

Also check manifold bolts.

Do you here the turbo spooling up? Turbo could be seized...

Also, would not use the generic tune from the Xcal. Really not safe...

start with the bits you have touched. Make sure the bovs not leaking, All connections are tight etc.

If not trade it in

ive check all the piping and the bolts seemed to be tight all over, but I can hear a strange spooling sound when im going up the revs, and the blow of valve seems to be going off like theres no tommorrow

but it just feels like a have 1 psi boost!

put it back to factory tune

Connect up a boost gauge to your vacuum line off the blow off valve, and see exactly how much pressure the thing is making.

Or like luke said, maybe the best thing to do is trade it in.

please note, my suggestion of trading it in is just for jokes, and not to be taken seriously.

If you hear the turbo spool it wouldn't more than likely be leaks in the system somewhere? Maybe swap the BOV back out for the standard one and see how things go?

Sorry mate. I don't know what could be wrong but suggest taking to a forum tuner. Good luck
