i was having some trouble at the dyno today, my car was not making power. long story short we cut out the failing cat made a test pipe, did a compression test. good scores on the compression test. Still no power. So now i may be looking at a new turbo or an obstruction somewhere in the intake piping. any advice?

Heat kills cats. Did you have any boost leaks? Did it spool all the way up to 23-24 on the dyno or was that before you took it in to get it tuned?

Did anyone conduct a boost leak test at any point and time?

deadstockkpomp

yes a boost leak test was done before they said no leaks the tuners going to contact me tomorrow and let me know if theres perhaps something in my intercooler pipes or if my turbo is fried which i dont think it is.

wow thats so low power with u pushing that much psi. i would say its probably the tuner who deosnt know what he doing cuz 180hp is rally low.. and 2grand for a 9 turbo! U buying brand new ? u can find used ones on her for 450.00 and u can even install your self , if your looking to spend 2 k might as well buy a ef or fp turbo. but good luck on getting car fixed

i had turned it down to about 18 pounds from the 23 it was making because of they flashing check engine

i dont want to buy a used turbo and the fps are really expensive

u should look into the ef turbos by map performance.. I upgraded to a ef3 from a 9 turbo , and its a awsome turbo .

FPs are less than 2k and the new ones are a bit over...

And from what you've said so far, it seems you should be taking your car elsewhere.

You can get a BB 6262,or JB 6262 for pretty cheap now a day's..I wouldn't waste money on a stock turbo if it needs to be replaced..

That's really low numbers even mustang dyno. I think your tuner should know better its not HFC that pulling your power at first place...
Also, isn't most tuner usually set flashing CEL for knock?
