turbo not spooling!
My son's car suddenly will not spool at all. It is like a normal four cylinder car. I'm not very knowledgeable about turbos. This is my first post here. I hope someone can give me an idea where we can look. There are no unusual noises before or after it stopped working. He does have a chip, but it has been in there for a couple of years. Any ideas where to look? It's a 2001. Thanks in advance for any help!

Well get the kid one. How can you know that its not spooling if you have noidea what psi he is running? You 2 need to go down to the parts store and grab and install one and see whats going on. Until then, everything is basically a guess and this thread will go no where

I had the same problem. The tubo is spooling but very little, and therefore you probably can't hear it.If you don;t have a CEL you probably will get one. I'm not guaranteeing anything, butyou probably need a new MAF. I had the same symptomsand it worked for me.

another thing you should look into is your waste-gate. the waste-gate controls your boost. it is located next to the turbo (gold in color). when waste-gate fails, the air is bypassing the turbines. very common for this to fail. search the forum for instruction to test the waste-gate.
