If some of you have seen the other thread, i've lost 1000 rpm of spool. now the turbo x over pipe and exhaust is off the car. and what ever else was needed to take them off.
The car does boost, it does hold 15 psi, the intake side is A okay. the vac lines are good. The wastegate (Tial 38mm) is working properly, and the down pipe isnt collapsed. and i don't think the x over pipe is collapsed also (1 piece). turbo has very little play, turbines are both in good shape (k26/6) A/F ratios are good also.
So what else can i add to this list to find where my 1000rpm of spool went. full boost WAS at 2800 now it's at 4000 rpm.
Cheers,
Pauly![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Edit:
Mod list:
2.5" straight pipe (no cat)
AFM Link
larger Front mount IC
new vac hoses all around.
TiAL 38mm to atmosphere

Yep, everything at TDC and make sure cam time is on.
A dead cylinder would cause slow spool too... Are you having any other engine-related issues (besides the slow spool)?

how do you figure the waste gate is working properly ? did you bench test it ?
has it gone like this since you put the new intercooler in ?
I'm happy to have a look if you want to come across town

What diverter valve are you using/what condition is it in? That's the only thing I can think of that hasn't been mentioned yet, though I'd think that would show itself when you pressure tested the intake. Couldn't hurt to double check.

Does it 'sound' any different? I'm with Rod on the exhaust leak.

dosn't sound any different. only leak i saw was on the down pipe to the turbo had a very small leak, and from the down pipe to the exhaust it had small leak probably the size of your small finger. Xover and headers had no leaks. but havnt inspected then for cracks which i should and will do tomorrow.

for the turbo to be 'dead' would it have to be leaking oil and or alot of shaft play?

Any leaks on either the intake or exhaust side will hurt spool up.
Is that one of the old AFM Links?....there could be an issue with tuning that is causing the slow spool.
With the vent to atmosphere wastegate you should have a good audio clue as to when the wastegate was opening.
The usual tip is to go look at the last thing you modified or worked on.
