Hello all,
I have been a forums viewer of this site for sometime now.I never had signed up since most of the questions to my problems or information was easily accessible on here. However, It has finally come the time for me become a member and seek specific help in my problem with my vehicle. Will really appreciate all the help on this.
*Note: Semi-long post but has all the details to avoid dragging multiple questions with already done tests and diagnosis.
Lets begin with the car details:
Vehicle: 2002 Subaru WRX
Upgrades/ Add-ons: Agency Power Up-pipe / Godspeed Silicone Inlet / Oil Temp gauge/ Oil press. gauge/ Boost gauge
Parts replaced currently: Purchased New Stock Turbo / Replaced all gaskets with grimspeed gaskets (Up-pipe, Stock Headers, Turbo)
Current problem:
-Shows vacuum levels on gauge, but once it tried to reach boost is stays at "0".
-Can hear a sound like a boost leak? when trying to reach boost, Unsure is its the turbo spooling sound though. Cant seem to find my problem.
Check ups/ Verifications:
-Car seems to start up good and idle good and runs good (without boost obviously)
-No weird sounds at idle
-No noticeable odd smoke from exhaust
-Did a smoke test due to current problem and found a 5inch crack under stock inlet flex area(This is why the inlet replaced)
-Vacuum lines checked and used common tests such as carb cleaner and soapy water.
-Tested Solenoid 12V battery method
-Checked Turbo Actuator arm (Pull) and clip is there also.
-Re-checked new turbo to make sure it wasn't blown by me and verify i primed it well.
-Checked to make sure Air box and filter were on properly.
-Checked TMIC hoses
-No check engine light
My unsolved problem has had me going crazy, Would be really awesome for some help, Even if takes some Pizza and Beer for 1 or 2 people to meet up and try helping me on this I don't care, I could use any help I can get right now.
