Tweake, I understand that max boost is normally at 3000rpm but my boost will hit 10 or 11 or so at about 2000rpm and will not increase regardless of how high the revs go.
Hi Tweake,
I have disconnected the wastegate pin from the actuator?? arm (not sure if that's what its called) by removing the circlip. The wastegate arm moves easily but does jam if I push it all the way towards the firewall. Should I be able to move the actuator?? arm?
There is no spring tension in the wastegate arm but I can't move the arm that it was connected to.
The pin won't quite line up to refit the circlip so it looks like I have to loosen the actuator fastening bolts.
Any more info about the wastegate as I am unfamiliar with how they work!
well that certainly sounds like there is a problem.
plenty of things to check.
any intake leaks, common ones are the rubber joiners. take them off and clean them. oil from blowby can seep in and unstick them which helps them leak.
if egr is blocked check its not leaking at the blanking plate.
exhaust leak, egr is prone to cracking especially turbo end.
make sure butterfly mod is done ok and butterfly's stay open.
test waste gate. possibly its stuck open.
check turbo, is it easy to turn ? any damage on the blades?
make sure nothing is blocking pre turbo air intake.
Hi all,I have an05 zd30 nav with 3inch exhaust,snorkel,land cruiser airbox &egr mod and I am only getting 12psi of boost.i'm chasing possible problems and solutions or is that acceptable?
