Was driving home about 20 mins ago, haven't had a chance to look at the car, but i boosted away from a junction and the the car almost died about 2 secs later, now it sounds as thought the turbo isn't spinning up at all. But otherwise drives ok, i think it's shagged, am i right?

 

Is your actuator loose?? this happened to me a while back and thats what was up with me, prob not but thought id help anyway!! LOL

 

might be the turbo to intercooler pipe has split, this happened to me

check that pipe

hope this helps

 

m8 had the same and it turned out when he checked that the actuator rod had jumped off! fingers crossed for u.

 

The hoses look ok, and the actuator is only about 2 months old, thanks for your input anyway guys.

 

BTTT.

 

Yup,bet your actuator has slipped off.

 

check the shaft inside the turbo. is it spinning free. check the play on the shaft. only 1mm up and down together. and in and out nothing.

 

either a hose come off, or the actuator popped off the wastegate...

dont matter if its new, it can still pop off... if it has just pop it back on and put a split pin in the hole to stop it happeneing again

 

Cheers guys, had a good look at it again, couldn't find anything wrong until i took of the hose from filter to turbo, and it seems like whole thing is siezed, i managed to get it to turn but by the looks of it, it's pretty much a goner. Just gives me the excuse to get a better one.

 

let me guess.........a new t-34 then

 

Yeah i think so, or something bigger!
