Hi
Had the car come with severe lack of power due to turbo failure. Fitted new turbo (BTN) gave car back to customer who said it drove ok I wasnt convinced as seemed a bit gutless.
Customer comes back a week later and it is now very gutless and doesnt have enough power to change gear (auto). No fault codes, done basics now asking for any help please.
Many thanks

Hi Roger

One man's "Basics" is another man's "best efforts".

You need to explain what has been tested & proven, or members will waste time & lose interest.

The most simple test would be a visual inspection of the compressor fan. It is amasing how often a brand new turbo is damaged, due to ingesting debris from the previous turbo failure.

I hope this is not the case here.

Cheers

Dave
