half boost
the other day I went to go work when I turned my 99 gst on the sevice engine light came on. Then when I started to drive it the booste would only get up to half on the gauge. And I hear a whistling noise. I checked the turbo and It's fine. any help would be good.

RE: half boost
sounds like you have a vacuum leak somewhere. checked all lines leading to ur IC piping or the IC piping itself?...I've had problems in the past with a hole somehow mysteriously appearing on my upper piping...

the wheel will spin freely even if the turbgo is gone. take the intake back off and take a pair of pliers grab the end of the wheel by the little nut. and wiggle it in and out if it moves in and out more then just very very little then it has shaft play and is gone. the winning sounds kinda like a old fire truck or something right.

I'm with Spyderman on this one. I think it may just be a leak in the system, possibly the intercooler piping or even the intercooler if you're un-lucky enough. You can do a pressure test from the upper IC pipe to the lower IC pipe to be certain. Since the Problem came all at once, then i'd say it's most likely a hole in the system somewhere, or even the BOV. Just gotta try pressure test everything....Spyderman's got it.

RE: half boost
I took off the intercooler piping ad cleaned it up and wrapped it in to good old Duct tape. It seems to have fixed the problem I get full boost again. But my check engine light says I need an o2 sensor. Only pro is thre are two diffrent ones. anyone know what one wears out more fequently.
Thanks all of you for you help
