to be frank, I don't know what are the tell sign or symptoms of a dying turbo.
if you recall correctly, I can't boost well in the past 2 years.
turn out to be a faulty ecu, each time when I tried to, the whole engine will choke.
only recent, a change of rechipped ecu, then the boost is normal at 1 bar.
of course, with a new toy, I tried to boost as much as I could..
excited like a small boy although we are old.
the boost has dropped over time, from 1 bar to 0.5 and over the last weekend, it went back to 0.8 after sending to the mechanic.
my mechanic was telling me that it just a matter of time before the turbo bid bye bye to me.
the cause is probably the faulty ecu, when the spooling starts, it was stopped.
of course, still can play around.
since I am thinking of doing an overhaul, I was exploring to see what is a good replacement.
