Why is my Turbo not boosting?

If a turbocharger doesn’t produce enough boost pressure, it won’t work. Low pressure can also be caused by leaking lines or gaskets (allowing pressure to escape before driving air into the cylinders, improper filter maintenance, and a worn or sticky poppet valve can also cause this condition.

What should boost pressure be?

Boost And Drive Pressures A drive-to-boost pressure ratio of 1:1 is ideal, although in reality, drive pressure is usually a bit higher than boost pressure. If a situation occurs where drive pressure far exceeds boost pressure (say, 35 psi boost, 65 psi drive pressure) then you might be looking at trouble.

If this is not the issue and you’re still experiencing throttle issues, you’ll probably want to take a look at your TPS (throttle position sensor). This sensor works with the electronic control system in drive-by-wire applications like the Series 60 engines, allowing for the electronic control to occur.
