I had pulled the vaccuum line from the BPC ? solenoid (on top of radiator). Went for a drive, same deal, no boost.
Well, after the engine was cool, I pulled and pushed the wastegate actuator rod. It moved, seemed difficult to me, but I haven't ever touched it before so I have no reference. Went for a drive to a friend's for the superbowl.
Abracadabra, boost is back, no problems what so ever.
I seem to recall a few times when I had similar symptoms (no/low boost) especially when the engine was cold, but it resolved after a short time.
So now my one last question, can I use 3in1 oil on the wastegate?
Can it handle the heat of the turbo unit? Should I use wd40?
Any more suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks
