The turbo was replaced before I bought it. But what I was told is that it was a new factory replacement. Definitely not an upgrade. Sounds like my suspicions may be right, that this thing is set way high for some reason. I’m going to adjust down to about 5 and see if that solves my problem. I’m susp...

I wasn’t really able to work on the car this past week. But I’ve been poking around today and have some information. I’ve checked all lines and pipes in and out of the turbo, TCV, and waste gate and have no leaks anywhere. I still need to monitor voltage and signal out of MAP, so that’s on my to-do ...

I'd poke around in that Autel's menu to look for a way to switch code standards. Google: Q» what kind of codes does autel use? A» Autel scan tools utilize standard OBD-II codes, including generic (P0, P2, P3, and U0), manufacturer-specific (P1, P3, and U1), and pending codes. These codes are used t...

No turbo leaks to speak of. There was a very small one at the hose that connects to the throttle body. Easy fix with a little snug if the clamp. I’ve ordered a pressure/vacuum gauge and am going to check the pressure coming out of the turbo to the TCV. As I mentioned before, I’m now suspect that I d...

At this point I would start with replacing/inspecting vacuum lines going to the waste gate actuator and TCV. IpD is selling great silicone hoses for this(i believe it was $20). If no leaks in the hoses, I would move to check if waste gate actuator is still working(hand held vaccum brake bleeder mig...

can you read the boost and vac ?

I haven’t seen the waste gate actuate, but I can make it move with compressed air. I am seeing readings from my scanner while test driving, yes.

How do I test vacuum on these cars or what’s the best way?
