Shit, why didnt I think of that?

I am now withholding all other information until n00ds are presented (although I fear I have already said too much)

Engine is stock aside from a begi t-body pipe. The car drives fine like my 1995 at all throttle positions.

The wastegate arm will move when you pull on it with needle-nose pliers.

My bet is on a screwed up turbo.

take of the wastegate signal line, then drive it. if it makes boost then, your turbo isnt blown. it WILL over boost like crazy though so....

check for a leak on the intake side, all pipes, cooler & so-on (may have cracked when hit by the belt or something stupid like that) although unless its a big hole she should still make some boost, easy way to do this is by disconecting the pipe that connects to the TB & giving it a few revs to try & make boost, you will feel it at the pipe end. take the actuator conection right off the gate & see it if will freely move & if you can hear the gate "tap" closed, the gate maybe broken & moving it with the actuator connected will only prove that the gate isnt stuck opened. check that the bov is not stuck open (remove recirculating hose & check to see it the bov lets air through it as you rev trying to make boost. I dont think its electrical although i dont know anything about the msm, although they are all the same in theory.

Check the post-turbo intake piping to see if the belt cracked or broke a pipe or hose when it came off.

I know this but its kind of scary with no boost gauge.

Its fine.

Me too. Is it normal for a turbo to not last this long? That car probably has 50-hours of track time on it, maybe more.

First check your penis for shrinkage then take the intake appart already and spind the turbo if it's good disconnect the vaccumm hose of the wategate and check if your building boost that way...

Id just jam my dick into the compressor wheel while the engine is running and call it a day.

or you could.... QUIT FUCKING AROUND ON THE FORUM, GO WRENCH ON THE CAR, AND TAKE SOME GOOD PICS YOU FUCKSTICK!~

I have a job so I can pay tax money which goes to you and your shitty life of welfare and living off the affluent like myself.

Placing money on that bet now. MSM turbos are not known for being models of reliability.

Hay hustler, can I haz moar welfair munnies plox? I need money to buy dildoz. And as you know, you can not buy dildoz with food stamps (much to my chagrin).

If you were a real man, youd be working on the car in the parking lot at work anyways. SHIT IZ TUFF.

BTW: Here's my number, give it to your sister for me: (480)-232-9754
kthx~<3

I beat the shit out of mine at 15-16psi, tracked it and all and the day it came off the car, it was like new. Never had issues with it.

And Hustler, now is a good time to ahve your sister buy a boost gauge. That should've been on the car already from the start.

yea, I dunno what all this calamity is about the IHI being unreliable. Ive been running 12psi for a couple years now, its seen its fair share of redline-banging shenanigans on autocross days.

yes, because 40-seconds of 2nd gear is more demanding than 30-minute sessions of sustained glowing turbine.

If you pull the wastegate line and get boost, the ECU will kepp you from having too much fun...don't worry, it won't hurt anything. I've hit boost cut in my GF's MSM plenty of times.

Hey thar big spender, if you wanna compare e-peens lets take it to where it matters -- race from a roll on the highway. >:3
