Don't think so. No noise, and no boost at all. Both at once??

Default Smoke or just no boost?

Shouldn't there be smoke if you blew your turbo?

Default If theres no noise it is most likely...

a bad wastegate frequency valve--look in serch engine under DR haller he made a pretty good faq on this...basically your wastegates sound like they are wide open...
