AlexJames Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) Hey peeps... slightly confused here... I was forced to give it some beans:eyebrows: while cold (which i dont normally do, had a car coming up my ass fast) Anyway, after that, the 1st turbo doesnt seem to boost correctly, i usually get about 0.8bar but im getting a max of 0.6 at the mo, 2nd comes on fine and hits 1.1 or over so no probs there.. It does feel a bit odd sometimes too... it seems the 1st turbo doesnt spool as soon as it used to..and on the odd occasion when the dumpvalve lets off, there is a very low pitched and quiet whistle also... but thats very rare... Perished/split pipes? Edit: am thinking of going ttc? reckon it might solve/expose the problem?

martini Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 When is the car considered 'warmed up'? When the temp gauge is half way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 When is the car considered 'warmed up'? When the temp gauge is half way? Oil temp is slower to come up that water temp, you would need an oil temp gauge to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
