2006 V70 R Seriously out of ideas except that the new turbo is bad. I had a qualified mechanic work on this project…. Despite adjusting the wastegate actuator up and down - the turbo only makes about 4psi of boost when not plugged in to the TCV. And with the TCV plugged in only about 10psi. TCV-repl...

The only really symptom I notice is a slow loss of boost power where it spools well sometimes hits 18 but slides down to 15 or 14psi. The other intermi...

Does this mean I have to take the block out to have it ground smooth? Could it be done in place? Can I use some sort of high temp gasket sealer to fill the depress...

Hi There, I searched all the multiple postings on this topic. And while other's posited the question there was not a conclusive answer when dealing with just exhaust manifold and flange replacement.
