Cars got no boost whatsoever. Feels like driving a 1.2 again. Also when the boost should come in it just whines instead.
Had people say all sorts. Turbo, actuator stuck etc. mates on his way now to have a gander but if anyone has any ideas it could save us plenty of time!
Checked pipes can feel pressure all the way around the system. Apparently the arm in the actuator should move but it doesn't. Only when pulling on it with mole grips?
Boost pipes won't be pressurised unless it's under load. Also I would be worried if u could move the actuator by hand. Mole grips mean it's working. I would say it has to be a boost hose off.
Cheers lee
So after removing and checking pipes the turbo no longer whines. Still no boost. Mates run odb/obd thingy n it's misfiring on cylinder 1. Said it might be running in limp mode so gonna sort the misfire out first.
I have a turbo for ktec as they do not modify the hot side for their hybrids. Rs tuning need a turbo with the hot side on.
If going for a hybrid would need decat, arp rod bolts and uprated injectors. Had to do this 2 weeks ago as my turbo went.
Update. Mate took the turbo off the meg for me. Only took him 6 hours and saved me £500 in labour charges. Midland turbo's have sent a currier to pick the turbo up tonight and looking at about £400+ vat for a rebuild. Hopefully be back on the road next week. Cheers for all the advice lads!
