ditchman Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 sounds like your turbo is fine but the electrics/sensor that controls the waste gate/varible pitch turbine is at fault..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchman Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 they are nasty to you if it is a vacumn sensor or the like it should be a cheap-ish fix....which is better than paying £1500 quid for a turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
