December 2, 200718 yr Well, my xt turbo has been running kinda like ************. The coil cracked and was arching spark all over the place. Replaced that with an accell super stock. Car ran good. But Ive had a manifold issue since day one, and with the snow, ive been pushing the car pretty hard lately. Anyway, I bought a boost gauge today and installed it to help diagnose some of my problems. And noticed the little arm that opens closes the gate on the was seized. Not sure where. But some WD40 and alot of wiggling it around, it actuates as it should. But..... I get some mad boost spikes. Normally running around 7-10 psi full boost. Still runs like crap since the exhaust manifold sucks. It spiked over 20 psi and literally blew all the rubber lines off the turbo, and the alluminum plentiff (intake thing) clean off the motor..... Its also back firing like a son of a ***************. But it still runs, idles fine. Just doesnt run so well. Funny part is, I cant stop abusing it.... The snow is too tempting. Anyone have an issues similiar? Think this will all clear up once I fix the manifold?
