I had a badly torn throttle body boot. Just massive boost leak, lol. Replaced it and now all is well!

Driverside turbo is toast. The turbo was completely seized and missing some peices. I am now working on pulling the motor and putting new turbos on. As well as addressing oil leaks and bad motor mounts ect.

Just wanted to update this. I pulled the motor and replaced my k03 turbos with k04's. The engine is back to building boost. I am having issues with the P0421 code coming up still (hoping my catalytic convertor is not dieing). Also my car seems to be dropping off boost. Not sure what is causing it but ill keep u posted if i figure it out

That's great to hear. How do you like those K04's? My motor is getting pretty high mileage. I'm going to have to do something in the next year. Did you go Borg Warner or other K04?

I really do like them. I wish i got to drive the car with working k03's so i could give a update on how diffrent the car feels. Since i bought the car with the turbos blown, i cant tell u much. I could not afford borg warners. I have a connection through my work for turbos from a vendor we use (got them for dirt cheap. Shipping cost more than the turbos). Im happy so far. I have a giac ecu in the car and she is very fast when getting into boost. I also think the giac ecu helped with my catalytic converter code. Ive got it to stay off for 130 miles and was able to smog my car without a problem (thank god). Not sure if the higher boost cleared the cats up or just the parameters are slightly adjusted so the light doesnt trigger.. either way.. im very happy
