how can i tell if my ct26 is spinning backwards

He could always check which way the propeller is spinning on top of his head.
Maybe that would be a good indication of the problem.

yea, thats the sound. checked lines, there good. i am looken at getting one of the BOV from synapse engineering. just haven heard anything good or bad about them. every one said that they hold better than HKSs SSQV.

I haven't had any bad experiences with my synapse yet, and I've had both that and the real HKS SSQV before, I prefer what I have now

Hey you asked how it would sound, I said "snap" and LIL John just put the chrome bling bling on my answer.
I can't even believe I'm responding to this. :3d_frown:
The only way to make a turbo spin 'backward' is to have air flowing backward. The turbo does not go 100k rpm to 0, the turbo is trying to spin forward, but air is forced back while the turbo is still spinning the air forward. This causes the 'chuffing' sound - air pressure builds up, forces past the turbo, and the turbo continues to spin, causing, again, the chuffing. The reason this is so hard on the bearings, is because of the pressure wave running directly across the compressor.

thats kinda a jurk thing to be saying. i had something wrong with my car so i post on here, they info you gave helped, every onces info help, but come on man theres no need for what you said at the top.

your turbo is not going to "spin" backwards. Check elsewhere. I have seen thousands of turbos and none have spun backwards.....on a ct you would have to pretty much need twice as much air flowing back through the exhaust. Your "friend" is full of shit. What would a turbo sound like running backwards? I may have to find a junk pos and find out now. It will take alot of air pressure and volume to do so but it may be worth it. I'll post the video clips if I find a turbo and engine to do it to.
yea i know this now. i talk to him and he said he did know any other words to explain it. but this post has been talk to death i know now from the hose check that i need to just get a new BOV.
its called a flux wave lol.... it will cause your turbo to go back to 1985 where you will have to find a lighting storm to get the car to start agean
