no boost please help

[special--k]

if the WG rod is lose but still attached then the clip is not your problem, Its the full WG and you will need another one.

no the rod is not attached at all

Well that's your problem. I'd still go ahead and change it out if you have the other one already.

Could be that or a open vac line.. I know when I first got my MSP thier was a open vac line under the dash from the previous owner. My guess it was a boost controller that installed previously.

Also with my bad WGA it would build boost but not really feel like it. The gauge would show boost but it felt as if the turbo and bov was just added noise.

That's exactly what just happened to
me. It felt like just noise. Showed that it was building boost fine and would blow off but no reaction to it from the motor. Also my exhaust Mani bolts were all loose didn't help the situation much so check that too but as I've learned recently wga failure takes all shapes and sizes so my bet is that it is wga failure in some form. Look and listen for a vac leak and either use a compressor on that line to see if it's holding and also try the blow test but wga failure is so common on our cars that I bet that's what it is. Just ordered my ATP wga today but not until way after I had eliminated everything else first FML that was expensive but finally solved my problem and Noe I have new plugs new vac lines tight intake and exhaust manis a clean maf and filter and freshly cleaned fuel filter, pump, injectors and relocated all vac accesories to clean lines only to find it was wga in the end

I'd say mess with the wastegate rod to see if it's closing all the way. I know when I'd mess with mine it'd get boost again but only temporarily.

Well I was partially right...

Attach the rod and go for a quick drive. As I said those clips are crap, probably a good sign that they've probably been in there for repair already.

 

[penny37108]

will a e clip work to reattach it?

 

[mazdaspeedp]

maybe spray a bit of oil into your wastegate
