Now What's Going on??

[OKI]

Hi Guys,

Its been a while since my last confession but I'm hoping you guys can help me figure out what's going on...

I recently got the car started after a 6 month park up in my garage. Took it for a spin and the turbos not working!!

I have no boost or spooling what so ever.. It just feels like a n/a. I have no smoke coming from the exhaust.

Today i took the inlet hose off and checked for play on the wheel. It spins nice and freely with about 2mm of linear play..

I'm taking that as my turbo is fine but what else could it be making my turbo technically switch off??

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Error Code 47 - Secondary throttle position sensor

c'mon guys.. Doesn't anyone know what it could be causing the turbo not to spool.?

I just read on another forum that it could be a snapped exhaust turbine and to remove the lambda sensor to see. I removed it, had a look and cant see anything..

I might be wrong but it sounds extra loud and farty.

Manifold snapped?
Actuator could be stuck?
Does the comp wheel spin on idle?

Thanks for the reply mate.

Can you give me an idea of how to check the actuator?

I can't see any damage to the manifold but I will take a closer look today. Last year the bolts that hold the manifold to the turbo came loose and I was losing a lot of air. I'll check that out too.

Dont worry guys. I sorted it out.

I had a HUGE air gap between the manifold and turbo housing... The gasket had about 1cm play. No wonder it was farting a lot

Anyways, I tightened everything up and the turbos back.. Whoop Woo..
