Took car to work today. Raced a Vette at lunch. Next time I gave it some pedal I'm not building boost. Running 60-1 stg 3, E85, 28#'s. Checked what I could while it was hot. No blown off hoses or vacuum lines, didn't hear any exhaust leaks, RJC boost controller seemed fine, couldn't touch wg rod as it was hot, brand new turbo and have good oil pressure. No SES light. Running a ported stock exhaust elbow/puk with the Kirban 3" DP. Just looking for ideas so when I get home tonight I can investigate efficiently.
Thanks, Jeremy.
 
Man, I'm really hoping! Cuz if it took out the Turbo she won't be getting an engine overhaul this year!
 
Sounds like a correct diagnosis, turbos don't "go out", they lose bearings and wobble, bind and smoke, well unless you run it open and it eats a bird or honda, giving you feather or rice FOD....
 
My turbo stop building boost when it needed a rebuild... no smoke no nothing. Stepped on gas n just fall flat on its face.. hopefully not turbo
