Message one day I boosted and everything was fine, then after driving highway speeds for a few minutes I went to hit it again and it went to 0 psi, I drove for about a month like that and checked my max boost every once in a while (it would say .67 or something like that, never more than 1 psi). Then one day I was pulling out of the base and was thinking "man it would sure be nice if my turbos started working again" and magically it started boosting again LOL. That was about 2 years ago and it has been fine ever since, I think my passenger side turbo was seized and finally worked loose after running good oil through it.

The back story is my passenger oil feed line rusted all the way through before I bought my front clip to do the NA to TT swap and I had to replace it. I noticed the passenger side turbo was a little stiffer than the driver's side when I spun it with my fingers. Last Christmas when I had my car apart both sides spun very freely and about the same. I'm not gonna say leave it alone but this was my experience. I had several thousand miles probably 30k if I were to guess and a few drag runs on it too since then.

*disclaimer*: all that I say may be true or I may be completely wrong and I accept that.... please, it is your duty as another person on the internet to impolitely tell me how wrong I am :)
