Signs turbo is blown (In Dallas, need guidance)

[nemeses7]

Can someone walk me through troubleshooting my turbo. I have a scanmaster but haven't gotten to adding gauges yet so I don't know what boost I'm getting. I can cruise at 30-40 mph but on the way back I noticed I couldn't hear the turbo catching and whistling, and the car stutters.

You need to post a location and find someone local in your area that can help you.

I live on Lake Ray Hubbard, just east of Dallas, 10 minutes.

how far does the factory gauge read into boost? you will receive smoke signals if your turbo is going, gone..blown as u say.

It was the darn up pipe coupler had a leak. I went to the auto parts store and purchased new couplers and it's fine now. I also bought a couple feet of vacuum line in both sizes because I saw a tad bit of rot here and there. Later I'm going to trace through them all just to make double sure I have no leaks. Thanks everyone!

Just replace the three that run from the wastegate to the turbo and boost solenoid (valve cover)

then replace every one of them that turn your fingers black.
