Hey all, Having a boost issue with my BA (Cooler, 4 inch dump & exhaust, injectors, X4 with custom tune 297kw@14psi, currently running custom 10psi safe tune), 1st will boost to about 5psi the 0psi, 2nd will spool up then 0psi, currently nursing.
No fault codes appearing, so far have checked/replaced,
-piping, joiners & BOV vacuum lines (replaced the sh*t turbo intake & throttle body joiners & vac lines with silicones and T-bolts)
-intake/exhaust & turbo manifold bolts (exhaust manifold bolts were loosish to my suprise)
-wastegate solenoid to actuator & turbo lines. (solenoid maintenance at the same time)
-wastegate for movement (not sticking)
I am leaning towards a failing actuator diaphragm or spring because when I checked that the wastegate was moving it seemed that the spring tension was quite soft (checked the tension on a spare diesel turbo) in comparison.
any input is greatly appreciated.
