No Boost Ecoboost... Need help!

[Victorous Secret]

Well, I have just about exhausted everything I can do and think the vehicle may need to go in for a professional diagnosis before I throw two new turbos at it. Below is a link to a video clip so that you all can hear what it sounds like.

Have you ever checked or cleaned out your CAC(intercooler)?.Z

Have you ever checked or cleaned out your CAC(intercooler)?......... hopefully its not plugged.  Z

Believe that was in his first post.

I'm looking forward to hearing the outcome and hope it's a simple fix covered under warranty!

Yeah he mentioned that he did that early on but the problem is that the ecu is telling the wastegates to stay wide open and wgdc at 0%...so to me the problem starts way before the actual wastegates...they are just doing what they are told at this point....by why are they being told to do that?

An exhaust restriction of some sort?  Was there any fuel being dumped into the cats at any point?

 

[Victorous Secret]

Nope

Lots of good info on testing the turbocharging system

Think I've found the culprit. Does this look normal? Guess I can stop denying my turbos are bad.

The other question I have is would this obvious fault cause the symptoms the PCM is doing by keeping the wastegates at 0%?

Nope, not normal   Looks like at minimum the seal has gone bad.

How many miles on the car?  Any warranty by chance?

If not, I'd say it's time for a turbo upgrade

Seconded. For sure sure looks like the seal has blown. Brad may have more insight, but IMO, blown seal could be leading to turbulence, etc. within the signal the ECM/PCM is recieving, leading to the wastegate command as a fail safe of sorts.

How does the other turbo look?

No warranty, 72k and some change, just tried contacting Mike at EPP for a stock turbo upgrade with billet wheels.

With the side to side play I had in my turbo(s) will I be able to simply replace the CHRA?

My bad. Once they are off the vehicle I will put in classified section. Just gauging interest.

Check the oil feed lines also as they are known to leak.  Might be worth replacing outright at the same time.

Solid recommendation. After doing some research Chilton suggests removing the front lower subframe assembly to R&R the right hand turbo. Is this absolutely necessary or have other members completed a RH turbo swap on the SHO without removing the subframe? If so to any members how did you complete the task and what are some tips and techniques, I should keep in mind?

Turbochargers and mounting harware arrived today. Then off to Revolutions Performance here in Colorado Springs for installation. I hope to have all this worked out by the end of the week. More to follow.

BTW, was just in San Antonio visiting family. God bless those in the path of Hurricane Harvey, my hat goes off to the volunteer and communities that are coming together to help one another out.
