Finally got the car into Volvo on THURSDAY last week. Been wrestling with my BMW in the meantime (fuel pump, axles, brakes, vac leaks, oil leaks, etc. etc.). 3 MO baby had a trip to the ER this weekend as well. Turned out to be her trying to breath in a funny way, so she's all good. At any rate, Vo...

Is this close enough to the 12v or do I have a volt supply problem? I checked the charging system with measurements at t...

Ha!! Dumba$$ moment. Im watching this thinking I know all this already - then realize my mistake - really simple one. WASTEGATE CLOSED = maximum boost WASTEGATE OPEN = no boost.
