It still has a working turbo, you can feel it. but the power that it should have isn't their
Changed the filters, I took that fuse out which the "internet" says resets the driving style back to factory settings.
They are no fault codes on the car either. and I never get any ecu lights or anything out of the normal.
I don't want to ask but, could I be looking at a bad turbo here?
or do you know something else I could try?
Thanks for the help!
boost leak?
also have you modified the car in anyway?, lowered, torque link, any upgrades?
on the mk2 frs if you lowered them and fitted an uprated torque link it used too reduce the axle tramp alot?
most likely its you getting used too the car so any movements or struggling for grip is second nature to you now so feels normal, go somewhere "safe" and launch it while not holding on to the steering wheel and see if it jumps all over the place (it should or pull heavy to the side on boost)
