Right I have fitted my brand new turbo to the s3 and I'm getting no boost? Even when I pull the pipe from the actuator To the n75 I still get nothing? Any ideas? Help please!
i have indeed and its a brand new sfs pipe so no leaks either.Have you fiited the turbo elbow that goes onto the charge pipe properly?
well if the turbo is ****** i will be a little ****** to say the least!!! the fact my ****ed K04 still produced good boost (replaced due to cracked exhaust housing and started to smoke pretty bad) when my BRAND NEW hybrid dont produce enouch boost to pull past a granny in a 1 ltr fiesta leaves me a little sore!!! looks like i will be driving the loan car (brothers ibiza cupra longer than i planned!). oh just to add cr turbos are great....at taking peoples cash but cant even return a poxy phone call.....roll on mondays phone call to cr!!!!!!!!Feel sorry for you mate sounds like a broken turbo somewhere
car runs spot on just dont produce any boost!!!!!! no rough idle etc. as stated all pipe work is new and hold pressure so any other ideas???? the car drives the same as a n/a 1.8 its just gutless! the fact im getting almost no boost at all concerns me alot! i can drive the car about without any issues getting to lets say 80mph the problem is just the no boost! car runs spot on. anyone want to buy some bits? lolHave you pressure-checked the charge piping system? Does the car idle/run poorly? That would indicate a leak.
didnt check prior to fitting as we was assured it was set to 1 bar(phone conversation to cr before ordering). the rod really couldnt get any loinger if it wanted (its like a spear!), the rod was also marked up by cr before they sent it out to me. assuming it was a little off i did adjust it a little to see if the seal was a little poor but made no differance at all. im at the point now where i either adjust it until its stupidly tight or take it off and send it back to cr for them to check it over. will try again tomorrow if i get the time and double check that penny washer is tight (dp is still off so i could check again after i adjust it yet again). lets just hope it not set up correctly as if i have to take the poxy thing off again im not fitting another K04 which means even more money! cheers for all the help gents.If you are not seeing at least 1 bar, the WG penny won't be shut.
This has been seen before where they fail to set the preload correctly in as much as the adjuster rod isn't long enough to allow the flap to close and seal. I'd be checking that assuming it wasn't checked prior to fitment

it was tight so I have no idea what else to try! Cr will be getting another call telling them I'm far from happy with their product!!!it's not just adjusting the actuator. Was the penny WG flap closed tight?
im not going to but worth a cheeky ask!! That's the thing Dave it looks fine??? Can't get my head around it!! Well as I said as soon as they have checked it over I will let you all know the outcome.Good luck...dont hold your breath though...
Did it seem ok when it was off?
I honestly have no idea!!! The fact I know nothing about cars/turbos don't help so until they call me and explain what the issue is I couldn't tell you. Well lets hope they are willing to start the year by refunding me so I can buy a bigger turbo!how they have managed that escapes me...
wheels on backwards? lol
