Well heres another problem on my car. I have idle problems and I have no power when I floor it. At first gear when I floor it the boost laggs and it picks up at 3000rpms then when the rpms reach about 4200rpms the power litterally shuts down and the rpms go up but I dont feels anything anymore. Oh and when I'm on idle it smokes a lot out of my exhaust, it looks like blue smoke. Is it a blown turbo or something else? :headache: :fworld: :headache: :fworld:

If I cant fix any of my problems in about 2 weeks Im gonna get a 2G DSM. Thats why I was also asking about the FPbig28 :toast:

Check for vaccum leaks and a oil leak. Remove your intake and feel the turbo for shaft play. Could be valve seals or something else like a headgasket (blue smoke). A 14B should spool before that and pull to redline. Do you have a boost gauge? Do a compression check and a boost leak check.
