Hi Guys/Gals.
3 Weeks ago my R went thru a pot-hole - and it tore a hole on the bottom left of my intercooler (basically creating a hole into the chamber). I sealed it and took it for a drive and i had positive boost (slightly leaking but still plenty of boost). Eventually i again had zero boost as the temporary fill i made for the hole came off.
So...i then made a proper seal over the hole on the intercooler. Took it for a drive - everything was great (no boost leaks) and then all of a sudden ZERO boost. I thought the hole must be opened back up again thus no boost but was surprised to see when i got back to the house that the hole was still perfectly covered airtight and so at that point my eyes went crosseyed :lol:
I have since fitted a new fount mount to the car (was hoping this would sort the problem out as the old one is a state!) But still no positive boost..Like you can rev the car as hard as you want but you dont get boost and both the digi boost control and anologue guage show 0.00 boost. On the guage it sits at -15 psi as usual and when revved will go up to zero BUT never just slightly over as the car use to do and make the woooopp-tissss it should.
Could it be the turbo ? Any help is much needed and appreciated!
