7444, blown turbo? Posted by burntheblobs, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
My Evo 3 16g has horrible lag and it isn't getting any better. I'm seeing 15 psi @ 5000 rpms. I've done a boost leak test and so far the only leak I hear is a small one from the throttle body shaft seals. I am also blowing dark smoke if I rev the engine. I did a compression test and got good numbers. I checked the shaft play on the turbo and the side to side seemed like it moved a descent amount. The fins where not very smooth when I was feeling them either. The turbo is very loud when it does spool (by this I mean I can hear it pretty well over my full 3 inch exhaust). Think its a blown turbo?
