Sent my frst to the garage for the head gasket to be done. And also had my new turbo fitted. When I went to collect it I found that the turbo does not work for example when driving you cannot feel it at all and no sound from the d/valve. The only time you here the dump valve was at about 50 in 3rd and then it was only very quiet. There was also smoke constantly from the exhaust. Sounds to me as if he has knack my turbo? Any ideas ?

 

take it back and go mad

 

sounds like a boost hose has split or come off, or they havent done it up, take it back and give some shit!

 

Hi had well kinda got a similar problem when i changed my head and headgasket due to some bent valves but noticed that i had a slight crack in the block. I decided to put the new head back on anyway dont ask why and once it was all up and running there was no chatter noise again and didnt feel like the turbo was kicking in. Checked all the hoses and the charge carrier to intel manifold one was a bit lose tightend that up but there wasnt much difference.

Am changing my bottom end anyway so i wasnt really botherd but intrested in what could be wrong????

 

did you or the fitting garage supply the turbo?? if you supplied it then you cant really let loose at the mechanic although i would have thought he'd have rung you to say its shit? id be knocking on the door of the supplier or if the garage supplied and fitted it, the hell yeah go take it back pronto and complain

 

I'd too go back to the garage, did you already looked wich boost it is running ? I did have had the same problem when i changed the turbo no chattering and no noise from the DV. when I changed the acurator the problem was solved and the Turbo had boost and the rest again.
