Boost Problem

[cullenmin]

Hey folks,

Got a problem with my boost, seems | have far too much of it.

Upon accelerating I'm sure I got fuel cut and seen the boost had spiked up to 1.8 bar and 90% on the solenoid (AVCR boost Controller).

Tried again, but a bit gentler on accelerating and boost was going well above the 1.5 bar that it is set at.

So put the AVCR setting to OFF so that I would be on wastegate pressure but i was still boosting far too high.

My question is, I suspect the actuator is seized or jammed hence giving me lots of boost, so with the engine off i tried to move it by hand. Should I be able to move the actuator on the turbo with my hand or is it jammed as suspected?

Thanks for any info/advice on this

Rich

Problem found, split pipe on compressor housing.

Where have you been hiding? That engine still in one piece then?
