ive drifted my gu many of times lol ive got problems with her though (major problems) basically it went into limp mode while out bush, won't com out of limp mode, its over revving power light comes on while accelerating, engine light comes on has no power going up hills or at all. ive dropped the oil in gearbox changed the oil filter in the gearbox topped it all up cleaned out the turbo cleaned out the intercooler co it had a thin smear of oil now I don't know wits wrong ive had my mate put his computer on it its throwing a gearbox sensor code atm I don't know wits wrong with it

G"day mate and welcome to the forum.
limp mode while out bush, won't com out of limp mode, its over revving power light comes on while accelerating, engine light comes on has no power going up hills or at all. sounds like air leaking in between the intercooler and the turbo, or the intercooler itself.
How did you
dropped the oil in gearbox ? What did the oil smell like and look like??

I drained the oil out of the gearbox it was slightly black replaced the filter the old one was destroyed there was no gasket on the sump either so replaced both of those topped it up with new oil now gear change is better. Still no power though. Cleaned out the turbo and intercooler they both had oil in them just dont know what to do from here its lacking power the power light comes on on acceleration i can sit idle have foot on brake and other on accelerator and can only get to 2000rmp in drive otherwise while driving normal it goes up to 6000rpm before changing gears

Still sounds like the turbo not functioning to me or air leak into the I/C. Do you have vac and/or EGT gauges?
I am assuming you have an auto trans?

[Driftking1569]

No vac or egt gauges its completely stock and yes its an auto

Ok it is an auto the oil should be red not "slightly black". If you just dropped the sump and drained the oil you didn't get it all. About two thirds of the old oil will still be in the torque converter.
I think you have two issues. First I think you have air leak in the turbo intake somewhere which would account for the lack of power etc. Then I think you need to either do or get a complete flush of the transmission.

Checked the maf sensor tonight all is good with that but turbo is hissing after turning car off so getting another turbo for it tomorrow fingers crossed thats the problem had a guy try and tell me i had diesel in my oil i checked it myself thats not the problem so fingers crossed the new turbo fixes the problem
