Continuing Wastegate Saga Posted by Ken [Email] ![]() ![]() |
My mechanic, in tracing down a no-boost situation, found a few cracks in the intercooler plastic, which he epoxied. Still no boost and The APC solenoid tested OK, so he disconnected the wastegate actuator and wired the wastegate shut. I now have boost, but it hever goes to the red. he says I need a whole new turbo (?)
I know I'm in a dangerous situation with potential engine damage, but I must have additional pressure leaks downwind from the turbo otherwise I'd be pinning the APC guage. Whats the best way to find those leaks? Or should I just get new intercooler plastic?
And it also sounds like the wastegate actuator is shot so do the usual vendors here sell those? Any recommendations anyone? And man, does that thing look like it's hard to get at. But if it saves me the $$ of a new turbo, I'll try it.
