turbo

Hi All Haven't posted for a while, the car has been running well now even at 400k miles. I've had a turbo 'whistling' sound for a while but that seems to have gone away with the appearance of a significant oil leak. Today I finally got around to jacking the car up and diagnosing the leak. It...

So my flex pipe broke. I have removed the exhaust system (OEM with a cat back stainless ). And it seems like I need to drop the sub-frame as stated here. I replaced the rack a few years back so the bolts should not be a problem so get loose .I did not replace them. I don't want to push my luck...

Hello! I recently blew the head gasket on my AEB 06 b7 and now that I’ve got it all in pieces, I thought I might aswell make my next adventure exciting. I was lookin at what turbo to get and the steps that come with it, but to be honest I’m a bit dumb and I really only have a budget for the...

Does anybody know what the correct voltage setting is for the actuator for a PFL S3 8v? I've not gotten any luck with a specific voltage, people quoting anywhere from 3.3v to 3.9v. Mine currently reads 4.189v which I suspect is a little too high. I've tried adjusting the actuator arm by grabbing...

I have been given what is some sort of a K04 turbo for my s3 1.8t but I'm unsure on what brand turbo it is. I know it is not the standard borgwarner turbo. It has turbocharger model: F23 stamped onto it but I can't find any Information on this. Would this just be a cheap Chinese copy? I was...

Hey guys, So I bought my 2010 A3 2.0tdi (CBB170) 8 weeks ago from a garage forecourt in Northwich. I noticed after a few weeks the turbo starting to make the dreaded siren sound. As I’ve read on here that only means bad things I took it back to the garage as the car has a 3 month warranty on it...

Hello! I have a c7 rs6 with a blown out turbo / turbo charger. I am well aware of the job that has to be done, I know it is a pretty complex work. How much would someone with the capability and right equipment charge for such a thing.

Right, well out the loop as I haven't owned a K04 car for nearly 12 years. I'm sticking a BAM in my Mk2 Golf and I'm after some parts. The engine I have sourced has a cracked standard turbo, so I figure why replace when you can upgrade. Looking for the following... - Tubular exhaust manifold...

Hi all! Hope our christmases and new years were good.. anyway on to my problem. I have an s3 with a BAM engine (although AGU head) and iv been having an overboost issue since i owned the car, but having trouble trying to solve it. I can keep the boost at actuator pressure by running a direct...

Hi all, I have an issue with my Turbo on my 2.0 TFSI A4 B8 Quattro. My turbo intermittently seems to just not function. Is this Spool Up Lag? There are no unusable noises, nor specifically related error codes & when it does work it seems fine. Now, there is an underlying engine camshaft...

So I don’t know exactly what’s going on but after getting the timing chain job done. Now I start up my car and it hisses, some white smoke but that could be from sitting a while. I think it is turbo? Anyone know? Audi A3 weird sounds

Hello, my turbo has been completely refurbished, because my oil pipe burst… Is it normal for the car for example 4th gear 1400rpm full throttle you can feel a little kick in your seat and the car pick ups fast… i just want to be sure my turbo is working correctly… it pulls all the way to 4000...

Hello, so basically I got my 1.9 A3 diesel remapped yesterday. And last night the turbo died loads of white smoke out the exhaust and all the tell tale signs it was turbo. It sucked all the oil out and has thrown it up to the top of my engine, now the car won’t even start. Has anyone else had a...

Hi all, I’m new here. I have a 2008 A3 with the PD140 BKD engine in it. I’m starting to have the telltale signs of a dying turbo, so I want to replace it before it’s too late. I’ve found 4 options so far. Darksides Mellett Turbo for £378, Darksides Garrett Turbo for £570, a hybrid turbo from...

Hi guys, i have a problem with my 2.5 tdi v6 From 1000rpm to 2000rpm when i floor on idle or whatever its so slow. I asked my friend mechanic, he said it could be a some vacuum leak. Did anyone had any problem like this? What could be a problem. But when turbo kicks in its okay then. And guys...

Hello. My car is Audi A3 quattro1.8t (ARY), that is currently running a stage 1 tune. On the dyno sheet it is clear, that the engine could not hold the boost for long time. The guys at the dyno said it is probably a broken wastegate, but the issue could be anywhere in a turbo. Right now I am...
