T That Runs Like An N/a

[Biggy]

Went for a trip up to Dubbo on the weekend and the T seemed not to pull as well especially on hills and could not hear her blow off with the gear changes so ask question at dealer and get what you would expect nah we have heard of no problems with them . So under the bonnet I go checking here and there then decide to pull theheat shields off and see if we have a prob with the waste gate , sure enough the circlip thaat holds the actuation rod on the arm is missing and the rod is flopping around driving air instead of the arm. Hope Garrett are not using inferior parts on there turbo's.

Damn, that's not something you'd expect from a Garrett Turbo. It's amazing to see this happen considering that the turbo's aren't pushed very hard at all.

A car that has a turbo generally has lower compression than the NA equivalent, so of course it's gonna struggle up a hill if it's turbo isnt boosting.

We have a highway car at work that is having problems with the turbo, won't go of 70km/hr. Won't have to be worried about being terminated though. Maybee this is why they are going to speed limit cars and they are testing on us see if we can still catch em. Might have a chance in reverse.
