( Urgent ) 4g93 turbo not boosting

[Leong]

Hi,how are you ?

I went for a car wash this arvo after that my car is not boosting at all ? Is It the turbo ??

What turbo is on a lancer gsr ?? Tdo4 or tdo5 ??

A lancer gsr has a tdo4. Check your wastegate on your turbo by wiggling it if it moves its buggered.

Exhaust and pod-filter is aftermarket the rest is stock ! !

Nope no vent

Nah it doesn't run rough,but is powerless is like driving a Na AWD CAR

Check your cat. The insides can sometimes come loose and rattle around to block the exhaust which will stop the turbo from spooling up properly.

Fairly common problem.

it could be as simple as the pin that holds the waste gate actuator arm to the waste gate flapper has rusted through.....the the arm comes off the flapper. It has happened to me once.

If the turbo is dead, then you'd know about it. It has to be something simple....

check all your hose clamps and pipes, vaccum lines make sure they are all plugged in
