MC express turbo phazer will not spool

[sledstew]

Have a Phazer with a MC Express turbo setup and the turbo will not spool, wondering what it could be, leaning toward the box. Seeing if anyone had the same experience. Also anyone know a good contact for info.

Thanks

I had a problem with my Apex not spooling last winter. Check all of your charge tube and intercooler connections could be a boost leak. Espescially on the throttle bodies. There is not much metal on the throttle bodies for the hose clamps to grab.

Good Luck

Must be junk, Better just sell it to me cheap or trade me for my rev.

LOL

Sorry all joking aside. First thing is first make sure your connections are good like said earlier. Than check the turbo, make sure it is getting oil, spinnning freely without touching the housings, also make sure your wastegate is closed. Should make boost if those things align.

Your turbo may be seized I have heard of a few having this problem after sitting for the summer.
I start mine every couple of weeks over the summer to burn out the moisture

What have you checked? Make a post with a list of things that have been checked so guys can think deeper if the problem is not solved by one of the above solutions.

Check the boost tube that runs beside the exhaust pipe under the seat, had one that melted a 2" hole in it but was really hard to find. Or turbo is seized, should be really easy to check that though.

Running a boost guage? Don't forget to check those small lines too. It is likely spliced into the line going to the MCX box. A leak here = no signal to box & no fuel management when you start to make boost.

Sled will run good up to this point, then fall it's face like a drunk hooker.
You might here a lean pop when you let off the flipper too.
