over the weekend i installed a manual boost controller. i clicked it all the way down to 0 then guesstimated i'd try 8 clicks. then i took it out for a spin. at WOT through gears 1-3 i would spike to 10psi then it'll hold at 7 which i thought was perfect. then i went to my bro's place and let him take it out. i told him to really let on it so he opens it up. from a 1-2 shift he hammered there was a popping sound then a big woosh as if the intercooler piping came off (it's happened to me after first swapping). we check everything and it's all on tight. checked the oil and it was a little low so i put a quart in. i assumed the wastegate was still open cause thats the only other part that would let air out. but hoped the turbo wasn't blown since i only spiked to 10 (i watched the gauge the whole time). i then crawled home and it wouldn't go past 2psi and could barely go up hill at 10mph. it definitely felt like a n/a
. since it was dark i couldn't really tell what kinda smoke was coming out but it seemed more white than blue. after some searching i had time to check it out today and found my brake fluid was really low from a loose cap and prolly my gas was a bit low but thats unlikely. i had to pump the gas to start it up today and the little smoke that did come out was white. i played around with the wastgate without taking it off and it still seems to work properly. all hoses are fine and oil levels are good. i still need to add brake fluid though. any idea on what it could be? thanks in advance
