problem

[Russell Stover]

I took off this morning from a light and when I reached about 5 pounds of boost it popped and now the car is sputtering when I accelorate. What should I check first?

DO a once around in the engine compartment. Pay peticular attention to air paths from turbo to throttle body. then check vacume lines.

Prolly blew an intercooler hose off.

 

[Russell Stover]

okay I checked all the lines they seem to be fine and all in place what next?

 

[markboss]

Check your wastegate solenoid vacuum lines, intercooler hoses again....does it run o.k. without boost??

 

[MARINES185]

possibly the ignition coil. can be checked with a scope. most
shops should have one.

O.K.then if it runs poor at idle as well with boost then check plug wires and plugs next. Does it set a code?Maybe a plud wire popped loose.

Well it was the ic hose. It popped off just a little bit and I couldn't tell until I really got into it. Thanks guys for all the info
