This weekend I installed a new mbc and I had it set to stock boost at first then I raised it to 14lbs. I forgot to tighten a clamp for the coupler on the turbo going to my fmic. Well the engine killed I pulled over and put it back on tightened it and drove home. I decided to go for a test ride and I was in 2nd gear building boost got to about 12lbs and I heard a woosh of air like the intercooler pipe popped off again so I pulled over checked it and all other clamp an they all was on and tight. So I started to drive again and noticed my turbo was not making and sound and I was not building no voost. The car is like a n/a engine now less power no boost and the turbo lines,couplers ect are on and tight. I kind of hear a low clanking noise in the turbo I think. Is my turbo bad? Car runs and starts fine just have no boost and no sound from my ct26? whats the deal?

just pulled the intake the blade fan on the intake side of the turbo looks fine and is not rubbing. I did find a little metal shavings in the inlet pipr to my tb so maybe the exhaust side of the turbo blade is the proble since I found metal in the pipeing? I am about to pull the down pipe but first I am going to look at the waste gate and rod going to it to see if it stuck open. Because the turbo has no shaft play and spins fine by hand. If the waste gate is open will the turbo not spool up at all?
