Turbo cuts off

(1/3) > >>

Skip13:
I have a 91 XR-2 when I turn the AC on My Turbo stopped working any help with this problem

belleaudb:
This question is very vague. We need more information to help you.

Are you saying that the car responds poorly when the a/c is on? Or that there is no turbo boost at all?

There is no electrical connection between the turbocharger system and the a/c system.

On my 92 the car performance is degraded a bit when the a/c is on, especially at low RPM. The a/c system consumes a lot of engine power, as well as a fairly high load on the electrical system, which causes a higher load on the engine from the alternator.

Estimate are that a/c compressor operation consumes anywhere from 4 to 11 horsepower. That doesnt include additional load from the alternator to run the compressor clutch, the blower moter, and both condenser cooling fans.

Rocketman:
The turbo won't just "shut off" like he says, we do need some more information

Does this happen when you're driving? Any other symptoms? What troubleshooting have you done?

My turbo cut off when I turned on the A/C. No white smoke nothing just has no power now 1 gear lucky if I'll go 15 miles hr  3gear 30 no matter how far down I press on the accelerator

Gas:
I'm willing to bet your turbo is fine. When the AC compressor kicks on, it puts a strain on the engine. When was the last time you did a tune-up? If your plugs/wires/cap/rotor are worn out, any extra stress on your engine will exacerbate the symptoms of a worn out ignition system.
