cullenmin Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 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 Link to comment
