today I was out riding around like normal and all of a sudden my engine starts to loose massive power and the turbo or something starts sucking air like crazy. I pull over immedately check hoses, oil level fine, no white or black smoke from exhaust.. Engine sounds like a rotary and hiccups a lot. My air/fuel gauge is on the fritz and shows I'm running rich. The car has no bov functioning and sounds it is running on three cylinders. What can this be guys??? I'm taking my car tommorow to get check, but hopefully Ya@ inline is lurking around...

 

turbo is spinning just fine by the way. No knocking on engine. I also lost a lot of cabin drone that I always had...

 

Check for obvious things, vacuum leak, noises at idle that wern't there and track them down.

Its time to play detective.

 

how do I find a vacume leak?? I checked all charge pipes...

 

does it sounds like a wrx motor? check the ignition, plugs etc.. check compression

check all vacuum lines post TB

 

actually it does sound like that.

 

Well guys I took it to first class automotive here in Orlando and the problem was very aparent. 1: Down pipe broke ; needs to be welded back. 2: Bov needs gasket or was it the wastegate... One of the two.

 

had mine snap right at the turbo once... same kinda deal I was gonna post but looks like your on ur way. Cost me 25 bucks to fix.
