Hi guys this is in the technical s13 section but just wanted to see what you guys think.

My turbo aint giving out any boost, took induction kit off last night and found the shaft to be fine, oil in the car is fine plus checked all the boost piping and no leaks

Actuator is on the turbo and the car runns smooth
usually my boost would kick in around 4k, but now there just seems to be no power there at all!

any ideas?

What does it read? Vac or does it go around to 0 boost when you put your foot down??

i've sorted it for him. the actuator feed was being taken from a nipple that was drilled into the hotpipe. (the silver pipe that's attached to the turbo). when i took the pipe off there was no suckin from the nipple. Bocked it up, put a t-piece in another boost pipe that goes to the dv and hey presto. Works fine :)
