I removed the pipe from the nipple at the front of the turbo charger and connected it to the westgate actuator. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidF Member 31 Member For: 5y 5d Posted 22/12/19 12:18 AM Author Share Posted 22/12/19 12:18 AM I find it odd that the car preforms worse now. that's why I questioned if I done it correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidF Member 31 Member For: 5y 5d Posted 22/12/19 05:48 AM Author Share Posted 22/12/19 05:48 AM (edited) Completed this and the car did not fault. But I have also noticed that the car did not fault when the A/C was on. Switch the A/C off and the car faulted. Also noticed that then the car was being driven at a constant cruising speed that it sounded like the turbo was kicking in and the car going faster then cut out and cut back in again. This has only happened once. Not sure if these are related or other problems. Edited 22/12/19 05:53 AM by DavidF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too sum up.... Purchased a 2007 territory and do not know who the tuner is or what exactly has been done to the car. Under heavy acceleration in 1st gear and just before the 2nd gear change the car would splatter and lose power and it felt like it had run out of fuel. This splatter and loss of power did not take place while the A/C was on. While driving at a constant speed I noticed that the car would slightly go faster and then pull back. This going faster and pulling back happened a few times within 30 sec and this problem has only happened once. As advised by k31th I bypassed the boost control solenoid and this stopped the car from splattering and losing power between 1st and 2nd gear change. Thanks for your input and help. What would you suggest my next step me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidF Member 31 Member For: 5y 5d Posted 12/07/20 03:16 AM Author Share Posted 12/07/20 03:16 AM Just removed the turbo and the actuator is moving freely. I am unsure how to test the actuator for faults. All the exhaust bolts and the manifold bolts to the turbo housing were all loose but was not able to hear exhaust leaks under the hood. Not sure if this has a effect over boosting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
