Will look into it. Just can't go without a car, need to get to work. But if its going to be an expensive fix then it's going back for sure.. Just found the dealer to be a little dodgy.. If its an easy fix then I'd rather do it myself, I've always fixed my own cars. Not that I know a lot about turbos but have always owned fords.Have the wastegate actuator, plugs and coils. So gonna just put them in first. And give the tb a good clean. Is it easiest to do the wastegate actuator by pulling the manifold and turbo out together?? Looks to be the best way to me, but will be my first time...the bottom turbo bracket looks like a bitch... Any advice?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So rang the dealer and told him, now it goes back tomorrow and I get a loan car.. Looks like the ecu seems to be overheating I think? An engine management tech told me when it stalls cool the ecu with a wet rag and see what happens.. I did and it started straight away after only 20sec of the rag being on.. Hope it gets fixed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All looks good so far, got a new/reco ecu, which took 3 weeks for them to sort out. And also had the put in a new wastegate actuator. The car goes great now, no missing/overboost and no stalling.. Now I'm going to install my gauges on the weekend.. Any tips on where to get power from and also how to hook up to the dimmer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
