Ive a legacy and i have a boost problem on the first turbo theres no smoke its running about 80 percent
 
Vague post , need more info,

Have you a boost gauge? what does it read and what is it meant to read at 100%?
 
With the info given... I suggest looking in the spare wheel well for water.
 
All i want to know if anybody else had this problem and what did they do to fix it .what are the common problems .

Cant give you a 100% answer over a forum , and with the lack of info you have given I wont even suggest any .....
 
I was only having a bit of crack with you..
Look more info is needed, I don't know by what you mean by the 80% thing.
Anything twin turbo is a pain in the nuts...
Has it ever run ok? Is it a recent problem? Have you done anything to cause the problem? Are you going by a gauge or by feel?

What you have given us in info is like going to a doctor and saying I'm not well.... Help me
 
Car was goin fine up to a week ago then i noticed i hadnt the same power as before from take off to about 50 mph was taking a bit longer it felt sluggish until i presume the 2nd turbo cuts in and then she goes . And im not asking ye to fix it i just want to know from somebody that had the same symptoms and how they sorted it , i dont know how much pressure i havent gone to a garage yet .there is bound to be somebody that had the same problems and when i get it to garage i might be able to talk more technically
 
No boost gauge so but have a boost problem?

Hazzard a guess at seized primary turbo,
 
We'll twin turbo systems are a nightmare to pin point a problem with... All the associated pipe work can be a bit of work.
You really need to get a gauge on and see what boost it's making, you may see low boost, boost needle flapping around, no boost, or perfect boost... Each one of these wi point you on a certain direction..
It may not be boost related at all... Maybe afm, knock sensor etc etc... Or maybe all in your head... Get a reliable boost gauge on it ASAP


Oh and yes legacy a are known to temperamental... Bit a lot of the time it can be down to vacuum/ boost piping being fitted the wrong way
