newfound boost getting me in trouble... Posted by michael [Email] ![]() ![]() |
finally started fiddling around a bit; adjusted base boost to 5.5psi, car was boosting just shy of red (improvement over before), and i'm doing some "spirited" driving. mostly just accelerating and slowing down. all of a sudden lose power. engine runs/revs fine, but when i floor it it pulls to just into orange, then power cuts out. doesn't die, but doesn't pull any more either. it's dark and i haven't looked too closely, but i'm guessing this is a mechanical prob with the turbo--loose line, stuck wastegate, etc. if it was electronic i should still have base boost, right? i'll check it better tomorrow, but any ideas in the meantime? still seems to be pulling good vacuum at idle. i would think a catastrophic turbo failure would be more, well, catastrophic.
