What wastegate you using? That's not stuck open is it?

As for the pcv, you can just leave the crank case to atmosphere. I did it last year and itwas fine,

come on sparky your my brains on this one lol i aint that knowledgeable lmao so its not to do with my fuel or vacuum leaks thats gd least i know the problem now!!


Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Jimbob-T-Lex - 24-03-2021

its the one i got with the turbo kit from ike the main problem is i cant get to it but i dont think it is stuck open as there is no gases coming through the screamer pipe

If you've no boost and a low vacuum I'd say there's def a leak somewhere.

It's not scientific but get some carb cleaner and spray it on various areas. When you find the leak the engine will change revs.

Ill get some of that 2moz then
on a worse case scenario could i have low vacuum due to blow back from the pistons??
Still got to work out how to install this ICV lol

Thing is if i have no boost at all there has got to be a pretty big leak hasn't there??

Ha stav put it into better words than I did you should get the same effect from wd or brake cleaner

Could be small, but once you push more air at it it'll get bigger!

I'd check for leaks mate honestly.
