I have to let it cool for a few min then it will run no prob.. The temp gauge never goes over half way and when I pop the bonnet it doesnt seem too hot.. Im guessing a sensor??It does have a stuffed wastegate actuator that is causing overboost. Will be putting in a new one this week..Is it easiest to take the whole manifold and turbo out together or should I just try taking the turbo out??? And is it the overboost problem causing the stalling or something else???Any ideas would be a great help as im worried every set of light its gonna die....

Take it to a reputable tuner and get their say so.Plugs. coils , throttle body clean ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt think it would be the throttle body as it only does it when hot? But anything is worth a try.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it been custom tuned or any other mods might help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All looks standard. Bought from a dealer in brisbane, they had no idea. And it never stalled till afew days after I got it home.. Really only was able to boot first gear and it didnt cut out, as it was wet and had an old guy sitting next to me. wasnt till the drive home that I noticed the massive boost and it was cutting aroung 3k... Its a 6 speed manual and has 120k on the clock, motor sounds nice and quiet. Hope I didnt buy a lemon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 4m 22d Gender: Not Telling Posted 18/03/13 12:32 AM Share Posted 18/03/13 12:32 AM Due to being less than 10 years old, and less than 160,000km's this car should be covered by a 3 month, 5000km statutory warranty that covers everything but tyres and battery.

Electrical and the turbo are only covered up to $300 each. Labour to change the wastegate actuator would cost that much. That's why I'm doing that myself, under$200. But if I can diagnose the stalling prob, may get that done under warranty..Seeing what codes it's been throwing tomorrow so I hope that gives a better idea of what's going on..
