So I just noticed that when I turn the car off and pop the hood and look down near the drivers side part of the engine bay near the exhaust/cat I can see big flashes of light they seem to flash every 5-10 seconds and it looks like fire...Keep in mind this is when the car is off.
I also checked the wastegate solenoid by pulling the hose off the wastegate and nothing happened "didnt run better" assuming that was what I was supposed to do?... btw, I read that on the 900/3-3 board.
I can just assume Turbo failure at this point, I am running stage 4 software, full 3" exhaust, 3.5 fpr, forge bpv, cobra pipe, ets IC, open air kit and cams, with a stock turbo and 95K. All vacume lines are new, I have no cracks in any IC hoses replaced the MAF and DI casette and brake booster vacume hose and new spark plugs every 3K.
I don't know where else to look?
