Last week I was driving to work and as I pulled out of my driveway, I felt a significant decrease in power. As I tried to accelerate, I heard my turbo spoiling only it sounded like a giant kazoo and there was no increase in boost psi. I initially assumed it was a disconnected vacuum hose, which was partially correct because I found the hose behind the stock intake to have come off somehow.
I reattached the hose and started the car, but still heard the noise and no boost. I assumed my turbo had failed. Took it into the dealer the next day and they confirmed it had. It's still there today (the tech just happened to call in sick) but I've been told it should be done by tomorrow.
Running the 93 Cobb tune, FYI. Though I am not associating this failure with the tune and will continue to run it once o get the car back.
Still not sure how the vacuum hose came disconnected, but I wonder it that had anything to do with the failure. Perhaps over spooling due to no regulation? Not sure. But I'll keep you all updated.
