TUBRO (yeah i spellit weird) HELP! PLZZZL

ex3cutiv3 · 10-31-2006, 11:18 PM

Hey I have an 89 turbo and it runs but the turbo doesnt seem to. On the road tho sometimes the stock gauge would jump to 8 psi. It sits on the 0 when driving and -4 when its idling. ALso it puffs out random white smoke and it runs absolutely perfect otherwise!!?? ANy suggestions? Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds like the way a stock turbo is supposed to act. At idle it has negative pressure, no exhaust pushing the turbo. At normal driving to slow acceleration it could be 0-4psi and under full acceleration hit 6-8psi?

i understand that but under full accel it says 0 and at normal drivin it will pop up to 8 then downto 0 instantly.

Does the car feel like its under boost when you accel or does it feel boggy and slow? could just be a bad gauge.

Do a diag

From what I've read from other posts here my might have a vacuum leak somewhere. If I had a turbo I'd be of more help but I'm just a N/A

does it feel like its boosting normal when you hit the accel or when you hit the accell you get no boost?

might have a leak under heavy boost

I had already done a diag and it came up a 52 (knock sensor) and that was all.

Also the car is not boosting wat so ever.

what's to bettin code 34 was there

fix your intake, vacuum or boost leak

how much fuel have you been going through?
how does it idle?

The white smoke could also indicate a BHG or shot turbo. lol. And try to borrow a friends boost gauge, one with a vaccum line, or just go buy a cheap one, The stock ones are known to suck.
