Guest murcus Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 either theres a hole/ split in vacume pipes, breather pipes check the pipes from the turbo, making sure there aint oil in them ( oil indicates blown turbo) also listen for any noises but because the turbo works off your exhaust gases, and the only thing that can stop them working, if either they are siezed broken blown, or a pipes came off, or intercooler knackered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dave29 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 didnt think of the intercooler . think its under the wing on this. can it be flushed out? cheers murcus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snoopaloopa Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I would suspect a boost leak to be honest mate, check all your pipe/connections very carefully as they are only low pressure turbo's on those so doesn't take much to loose all boost.
