Why ohh why has my primary ceased...??
My car hasnt boosted scence I got it, and I trouble shot untill I came to the conclusion that the primary whas ceased.
I got a new set, and it looks like I was correct... the primary is totally ceased.... I have no idea why, all the oil lines seem good, and the engine is running strong at 59XXX KM..
any ideas guys??

the primary looks to be stuck against the cold side of the housing, although I havent looked super close yet.

Is it a jdm car that is f.o.b.? If so then I wouldn't trust the milage on it. That might explain why the turbo was seazed. It could have 150000km on it. Either way that sucks.

So no ideas guys??
Im thinking it is one of the following:
A- at some point the car blew an oil line and it starved the primary under light load
B- the car sat in the export yard for 1yr and the turbine ran totally dry... when I topped it up upon recipt of the car off the boat from Japan, oil didnt seem to get in there, and it ceased under light load when I started driving it. (never having even been in an FD before I didnt realize it wasnt boosting at 2000-2500 rpm.)
---FYI--- I felt boost/spool for a brief second when at a stop light going up a hill right after getting the car, but never after that!!!----
C-coolant lines got bunged up due to old coolant, and the primary ceased due to thermal expansion
D-(unlikely)something big got sucked into my intake, leading to turbine failure due to a foregin object hitting the turbine at high speeds
