The exhaust made a weird sound and the car was going no where. Luckily I live in a rural area and I pulled into a back lane and tested the car, it was doing the following:- The turbo sounded like the intake pipe was popped off, all pipes are nice and secure but it sounded the same as that scenario.- As noted strange exhaust noise- In neutral the car revved OKHaven't had a chance to look at the turbo but when I got home I could hear it spin after turning the car off, all sounded normal.Its got me stuffed, only time the car has felt this was is when the turbo pipe has blown off, but all OK under the bonnet.Does anyone know what could be going on? Could it be the actuator?Any advice would be extremely helpful.Car is as per signature, only 80,000kms.Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
