So i just got another turbo becuase mine was smokeing bad and now i have a boost issue typical :( . Car runs alrite no smoke no funny idle but wen i hit boost it doesnt boost like it should (slow) and now my Blow off valve isnt opening hmm could it be a boost leak or a stuffed BOV? any opinions? im new to the GT starlet thing so any help be good thanks

Sooooo nothing but bad news :( i think my turbo is rooted. I heard a clunk and checked turbo for play and there is a little :( and i think the wheel has been hitting the housing (sigh) so gna get it checked by a mecanic tomorow and hopefully its not as bad as i think it is!
