blue turbo... oops!
My car is in uber limp mode and my turbo is blue.
Through an egt code. Now zero boost. Can't even hear the turbo turning in the exhaust. No power at all.
Thinking maybe my uppipe cat broke and smoked my turbo.

Pull your turbo off and take a look.
A friend down here had the SAME issues. Thought he blew his turbo so he went out and bought a new one.
Pulled the old one off and was so pissed he threw it on the ground and huge chunk of CAT fell out
After the chunk came out the wheel spun freely and he decided to throw it back on and it worked fine
I know he got lucky, but its worth a shot

When I got the Cellica my mom was driving it around as a daily, she took it in for service oil/air filters. After we got it back it would not make boost, pulled the inlet and found a screwdriver inside the turbo with about 1/2 the handle gone. Guess dude lost his screwdriver when he was changing the air filter. Took the screwdriver out and then it worked fine, for a while. Good luck with your turbo blues.
