JamieB Member 58 Member For: 11y 10m 4d Posted 18/05/14 07:28 AM Author Share Posted 18/05/14 07:28 AM I blew regulated air into the wastegate actuator and it failed to open, at any point. The air was leaking out of the small hole in the side and at the bottom where the rod comes out. So my assumption is that the diaphragm has a hole in it and is leaking Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88259-error-codes-overboosting-exhaust-howl-pulled-turbo-off-and-cant-fin/page/2/#findComment-1472220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke187 Member 297 Member For: 11y 5m 11d Posted 20/05/14 06:53 AM Share Posted 20/05/14 06:53 AM Ghetto bleed valve. Wouldnt've thought it would cause a wizzing sound though. Any leaks between the filter and turbo?

JamieB Member 58 Member For: 11y 10m 4d Posted 20/05/14 10:31 AM Author Share Posted 20/05/14 10:31 AM Wizzing sound was coming from missing bolt on waste gate bracket that went right through to the intake side of the turbo. Got it all back together and car is going a lot better, still making the 'howling' noise from the exhaust though. And on a test drive it briefly saw 18psi before I jumped off the gas :/ so I have to be very carefull until I get a new actuator.

JamieB Member 58 Member For: 11y 10m 4d Posted 25/05/14 11:32 AM Author Share Posted 25/05/14 11:32 AM amazingly yes. im still confused why the computer is not cutting power or going into a limp mode once it sees that it is overboosting?
