Hello all, just thought I'd tell you my problem and see if anyone can shed some light for me as this is the first turbo car Ive had and Im a bit of a newb. The car is a 120y with a ca18 turbo.

Firstly the car begun to lose power, but now it practicly crawls up hills and is so slow its almost undriveble. The motor sounds find, but the boost takes ages to spool up and does nothing. The gauge used to peak at 16psi, now it just keeps spooling past 20 psi but has no effect.

Also the car feels like its running on 3 cylinders at times, but then after some backfiring and a lot of smoke its fine for a while. The has been repeating for a while but has now gotten to this stage.

And another thing, on the turbo side of the motor something is spraying a fine mist of oil around the engine bay and i cant pin point where from.

The motor was rebuilt only 7000ks ago buy the previuos owner, but it burns oil.

So there you have it, from a 200+ kmph spin the wheels in every gear change to a slow as a snail on drugs and barly able to go up a 2 degree hill!
