greddy twin turbo

Hello Everyone.

I just finished my car and put in a used twin turbo kit. which i bought from the forums. I got on the dyno and i got no boost. I was pissed. so i took check everything and i noticed that the wastegates were broken the valve in the tial wastegates. Both of them were broken so i have to buy some new ones So i put the new wastegates and i went back on the dyno and still no boost. I found out that the person i bought the turbo kit from sold me a broken turbos to.

User name: supracrazy Be careful!!!!!!!!

He said that i blew them but how can i blow When i can't even drive the car. It took me 8 week to put in my car. I didn't bother checking the trubos because he told me they are working order. I should never trust ppl. Even if i had my car work i can't even drive it hard because i have a fully built fresh motor. I just put it on the dyno to make it driveable and i can't even see boost. So now i have to pull motor to take out trubos S Hitty deal

Wait, have you had the turbo's tested yet? You should take it to a turbo shop to have it tested to be sure before making any assumptions. It could be something other than the turbo itself that went bad.

I know it is the trubos for sure because i did one last test on the dyno. I blocked the holes for the wastegate still no boost. The wastgate spring are set to 10psi. with load no blow off valves sound. Haltech computer was reading 0 vaccum. My mech is going to take part the trubo to look at them. He is pretty sure that is the trubos are gone.

Pwebb is this suppose to be funny
