[Mk2] [Turbo] Strange Electrical (I Think!) Problem

Post by andydurham »

I have recently put a new engine in my 2....
All was going fine, but now when going for boost or high revs there seems to be some sort of electrical surge that knocks all the dash lights on, and sends the gauges to full, and then stops... This was also kicking in the starter motor before, but I have fixed that problem with a new ignition switch....

I am puzzled as to what this is, as it is not happening on idle, just on load...

Any help would be brilliant!
Cheers

Think I have hopefully got to the bottom of this tonight...

Whilst trying a diagnostics on the car the problem happened when moving the connectors around there.. Thinking it might be a goosed turbo pressure sensor....
