Hey folks i need a few ideas as i fitted a blitz DSBC last weekend and was testing it out and slowly bringing the setting up and ended up with 14psi but then as i went to accelerate again i have lost all boost and can hardly get over 0. I have checked all the hoses for leaks and have found none and im not sure if the ECU will put it into some safety mde which is preventing me from getting any boost pressure.

does sound like you have blown a boost pipe off. ecu will still let you have some boost in safety mode.

Just been reading up on turbo faults and car was sounding like a bag of nails tonight which may mean one of the turbos is seized. I can hear it on the left as i accelerate sounds like grinding and on deceleration it kinda grinds and then sounds like it starts spinning again. Does my idea sound right ? i started to get my boost back today as well which made me think its the turbo plus there is a little more smoke than normal at times rings too many bells for me.

 

Now reading into the standard turbos am i right that it is a garret T25 flange with T25 compressor side too which people upgrade to a T28 compressor which is the same flange but bored out. Ive been looking on ebay and there seems to be alot of rebuild kits going and also has the 200sx got the same turbo. Thanks for all the help people

yep they are t25's. rebuild kits are available but you could upgrade to larger tubs but that would mean larger injectors and intercoolers as well. jwt 500's are a good choice of turbo for stock motor.

just been reading a few posts on renewing the turbos or at least getting them off to sort them out. I see most say its so much easier to remove the engine and you can hire a engine crane for about 20 quid for the weekend. How long does it take to get the engine out though ive looked at some of the posts on it and cant see a time plus is there any parts im gonna need because ive removed the engine like renewing gaskets. Gonna attempt this job in a few weeks and refurb both turbos maybe with T28 compressors as aint got the money for jwt 500s :)

renew all turbo gaskets etc and any other things that dont look perfect while the engine is out do them or you may regret it when the engine is back in.
