gaz1 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 hi all , got me car back as been in the garage weeks now, had a new piston after overboosting blew it, but now the second turbo wont come in , its boosting at 0.4 any ideas ,as taking it back monday. and would like some idea of the problem, to be fair they could not road test her hard as the roads are wet.

Jake Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Bits from the earlier engine damage have probably gone through the turbos and ruined them. What happened to the piston? When you say "New piston" was only one replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 yeah it was over boosting, and part of the spark plug damaged number 5 piston so they replaced just that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Peace Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Soz to hear this...could be something simple like a hose off....or some other simple thing I'm sure, this kind of thing happens a lot. Whos been working on it? Si Edited: to rephrase in near perfect English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 does this make sense, when i bought the car , i got the garage to change exaust and air filter,and they reckon it was overboosting because they decatted it without realizing.
