turbo 1 problems, help!!

Postby knob city » Fri Feb 12, 2010 8:23 pm

hey guys, finally got my hands on a city turbo tonight, pretty immaculate besides the engine lol, its done over 300thousand k's - still drives alright, like the turbo seems all good etc.

Bad news is its blown a headgasket, im guessing anyway as it chuffs a heap of smoke at start up and overheats heh.

The problem I need advice with is at around 5k it cuts out, like a hard boost cut (but its only running standard boost, and cut is at 16psi for them apparently).

Fuel cut maybe? any ideas on how to fix this problem?

thanks!

Boost cut. Wastegate is either jammed shut or the actuator is broken.
