Overboost :(

[Neilzomg]

Cars been overboosting for about a month. Had it remapped and today had the remap removed but still went into overboost in 5th gear about 60mph. Only ever happens around this speed.

Had the turbo pressure tested said everything is moving as it should be but still getting an overboost.

So remap ruled out and actuator etc is moving freely and fine

What happens when it overboosts?

 

[Neilzomg]

Limp mode, then turn off restart car back to normal. No engine lights.

Waste gate is a usual culprit in overboost situations

 

[Neilzomg]

So time to get the turbo ripped out and put a new one in i'm guessing

What engine is it???

Worth checking the turbo actuator and possibly the N75 valve first, and of course the vac pipes.

Please do the logging. If its having a hard time to reach the specified boost, and is going into limb mode, then i would say sticky vanes, but lets see what the logs say first

just taking the dive and getting the turbo replaced, hopefully in the next week or so replacement is on its way. Car drives fine aslong as i keep it to 60mph so no overtaking until it gets replaced. If there's anything wrong with the turbo itself at least this will rule it out and i have no idea how old the current turbo is, whistling and siren noises have gotten worse also starting to make a high pitch noise around 3-3.5k revs. Just going to drive it easy until i get it sorted

You're going to need to offer up more info than that...

Any trends on what it's happening, any error codes etc

No codes just open her up gets to about 5000 revs then it just goes into limp mode turn car off back on and its ok until I open her up

 

[Mobbs69]

It never went into limp mode until I had new turbo fitted brand new not recon

Is the car standard ?

 

[Mobbs69]

Yes

 

[Mobbs69]

Off to bed now I'll have a chat with you tomorrow hopefully you might have an idea mate

Sounds like sticky veins if there's no fault codes

Other suspects could be faulty maf or map but typically those would give you codes

Mate you should have some sort of warranty on the new turbo take it to the garage that fitted it they should sort it out for you.

Garage all the way, they should be able to pull logs if what's happening to diagnose
