oh dear oh dear oh dear,

 

Right then, who can tell me if me turbo is fooked. only got the stock boost gauge, but upon turning on the ignition the needle no stays to the far left, and when i drive the car it doesnt move either, ecu is code 55. I think the off side one has gone. But is there a way i can really tell, apart from lack of power, got aload of smoke out the back when i rev the engine up,

 

Regards

is it an auto or manual bud?

the standard guage is crap and known to failure..mine myself has a mind of its own !

what colour is the smoke bud ....???

 

and is it smoking from one side ..??

 

...

car is auto, just strange that the gauge worked fine before, no it doesnt even go to the mid point when the ignition goes on, its kinda difficult to tell what colour the smoke is, will have a look again tomorrow. Just had the box done at swz, thing is i thought the thing had failed again as was driving and got as rather nasty crunching failure sound, i suspected one turbo was on its way out as when you were driving and it comes on boost you could here like a sort of high pitch grinding sound. very slight but when you then let the foot of the accelerator it would stop. Anyways went to the car today and it selected gears no probs, i just couldnt believe it, not sure if final drive selects as didnt wanna push my luck. It does appear though that the box is getting excessively hot as got some smoking from the dip stick
