It won't hurt to spray some wd40 into the solenoid and also double check that the boost sensor in the intercooler pipe is still plugged in. I spose I should have asked, was it working fine before the turbo was swapped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was working fine before the turbo was swapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have access to another one to test if it solves it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some pretty knowledgeable people on here that can probably suggest other avenues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIfferent exhuast housing, IWG hole and other factors could be impacting you here. Have you tried to put compressed air into the boost solenoid at determine a what point it is opening? if you can do this, taper down the psi to a point where it barely opens and fully opens. How does the installed wastegate compare to your bench unit? Afraid to say it might be time to get it to a tuning shop that can connect up some gear and determine boost, wgdc etc etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A black rubber glove I had over the intercooler pipe while I was working on it must of fallen in at some point and was blocking the intercooler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
