BLOWN Turbo???

BLOWN Turbo???
Crap. What's going on? Is the turbo shot? I got a 2009 Panel SS - 5 spd. Did the stage 1 kit GM dealer installed. Also did a K & N cold air intake. Since then I put on 30K with never a problem. A few days ago the 'service airbag message' started showing up. Today I was playing around with the No Lift Upshift (in the launch control mode) getting used to it. Now I've lost all my power. The boost gauge only goes to 40 instead of 120 and the sweet turbo whine is pretty well gone. I've let the car cool down for 3 hours and still no difference. I'm supposed to go to the dealer in the morning but this is really bothering me. I can't sleep. I need answers. Any similar experiences or input? Help.

I'm right there with ya. I've been sitting on a possibly.blown turbo for about a month. 08 with 11 thousand miles. I have had no boost and an intermittent grinding noises in the turbo. GM engineering is making me data log so they can rule out other possible causes. I have also had intermittent check engine lights and codes for low turbo oil pressure, misfire cylinder 3, waste gate stuck, and turbo over boost which is weird since I have no boost at all. Let me know what they find on yours.

Do you have the K&N kit that comes with the new pipe, filter, and box lid? If so check the filter in the air box. After a few runs at the track and some NLS it blew the filter off the pipe spinning the filter around and pluged up my intake every time it would boost. After driving it for a bit like this it went in to limp mode witch is what your discribing.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Glad there's no black smoke. If I got problems down the road I'll know a few things to check first. Got my car back last Friday afternoon. Works great. The dealer basically said it went into limp mode which helps protect the engine obviously. They hooked up the computer to it, and a few codes came on. Bottom line....one of the sensors was coming loose and they reconnected it. They said it won't come loose again. No bill for me on this one. The dealership looked after me well. The car works awesome....maybe quicker than before? My boost gauge goes from 120 to 140 psi at 5000 rpm. I never noticed this before.

Unfortunately it sounds like you have the fairly common problem of the engine rocking and rubbing the sensor that was installed with the stage 1 upgrade. Hope its fixed for good now.
As for the IPCW lights, they are my favourite mod so far. I love mine, and I only have the stock looking red ones. I say giv'er.
