I should have posted this here first. Forgive me for the brainfart.

On a romp home last night I shifted from second to third and was greeted by no boost. The car builds boost (or at least decreases vacuum) up to 0psi but won't go above it.

I don't think it is the turbo itself because I would see greater vacuum as revs/throttle application increase if the turbine wasn't spinning with the shaft at all.

I am pretty sure it's just the rod but I'm curious if anyone else here has experienced the same thing.

Thanks,

pot. It is common for this to happen, buying a seperate pot is not common...hard to find. A friend has good luck silver soldering them back together. If this is your problem?

symptoms that I had when they installed my extrernal wastegate, in which this piece was missing from the wastegate. Do you get a little boost a high rpms? Once again I THINK that's what it could be.

...waiting for me to make my mind up - 4000Q with a 20V turbo or T3/T04E in my 3400lb tank/daily driver/track beater.
