Hi,
Not quite true - if I keep it planted it does come on boost but max. 0.6 after a big lag.
So I am pretty sure one side is sticking not working.
Until today I'd get 1 bar 1.2bar and boost would be nice and gradual but strong.
All hoses seem to be good.
just after suggestions / options available?
Looks like my passenger side turbo is kaput - the mechanism that controls the vanes feels as though it's sticking. It's slow to return when moved by hand, it can be moved and does return, just slowly.
Link rod is in place.
Might be the actuator - which I have seen can be bought separately £508.06+VAT
Or worst case scenario and apparently the most likely the (hotside?) of the Turbo itself £2936.95+VAT (price of the turbo + the actuator)
Have spoken to Turbo Technics - as I always thought it was a case of when they go I'd send them off to be Hybridised (is there such a word?)
But apparently 997 VTG turbos can't be rebuilt - there are no parts available, the manufacturer (Borg Warner?) have never released parts.
So is my only option to buy new turbos from Porsche?
Thanks
