I have been having problems with my boost. Seems as though my BPC is up to par. after following Gavin's check procedure.
I have been getting low or base boost for a while now and have tried the following:
1. Replaced the PCV valve(faulty) with a small increase in boost.
2. All vac, lines checked and some suspects replaced.
3. "w" hose disconnected from BPC and plugged, not plugged with no difference.
4. reset T5
5. did this first but reconnected the wastegate rod.
AND here is the deciding factor.....................
with mid yellow boost, still, I disconnected the wastegate rod again to see if there would be any difference after all my other checks.
no difference.
This points to an actual poppet valve failure in the exhaust portion of the turbo.
Please someone correct me if I am wrong because I want to avoid the 400$ repair but I am loosing my patience on this issue.
