Re: Boost Issue - Remanufactured Turbo? Posted by cgwiz [Email] (#1128) [Profile/Gallery] (more from cgwiz) on Wed, 9 Oct 2019 10:53:01 In Reply to: Boost Issue - Remanufactured Turbo?, Kyle B., Tue, 8 Oct 2019 13:06:22 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
At 120k, I'd look more at the vacuum hoses and wastegate linkage than at the turbo. I've had the spring clip that connects the actuator to the gate rust off, and lost all boost. I had another that the gate inside the housing developed a funny wear pattern, and wouldn't consistently close. 1st was solved by a paper clip, second by a little judicious Dremel work. On both, the turbo itself was fine. Now when the turbo blows on internal seal, and starts burning engine oil, that's a whole different story...
