Well the car has had a turbo put onto it and now its terrible, no power to speak of , cars alot quieter than it ever was, dump valve doesnt work no more lol could this be a pipe issue somewhere or wrong turbo etc

 

Boost leak or VAC leak

 

OMG your luck doesn't seem to be getting any better on this car! Did you end up having to pay or was it done on warranty?
1st thing is to check all the pipes to make sure one hasn't blown off or split. Do you have a boost gauge,what is it boosting at?
Really hope you get this sorted,seems like you've not been abel to enjoy your car fully since you owned it

 

Sounds to me like they just took your old one off and stuck a bit of scaffold in it's place.

Take it back and tell them to get someone that has a clue to look at it.

 

as i mentioned before mate you need to take your car to a specialist who knows these cars inside out.

forget the backstreet garage that will do it cheap-get it to somebody whos knows whats what.

you have no idea if the car has been re-mapped so i suggest a dyno session to get an in-depth look at what the car is actually doing

 

right well update time, yesi paid for itmyself as i just couldnt be without the car for days on end like the garage wanted who i bought it off as my mum has cancer and is dying and im there a few times a day, just been told local mechanic has used wrong studs to hold turbo on does that sound like itll be messing the car up the way ive explained............ after all this i still love the car

 

sounds like your mechanic shouldnt be a mechanic

 

thats along the lines that i will be telling him first thing in the morning, i just need to know could this cause the issue i need my facts right before confronting them

 

Has it been mapped for new turbo??

 

i wouldnt have thought it would be doing it much good mate

honestly mate get it to a specialist asap

 

once this is sorted it will be going to a specialist mate trust me

no hasnt been mapped for it as i was told a like for like turbo swap would be fine both td04 turbos

 

was it definatly a td04 that came off tho?

 

yes mate ive got the turbo here and it says td04 on it, the turbo that went on i bought off here didnt say td04 on it but was told by the seller that some have it on and some dont but the turbo he sold me is the same and direct fit

 

a genuine td04 should say it mate...........

seriously, get the car back and put it into a specialist ASAP, do not drive it around as is, you will end up blowing the engine up for christ sake. Cut your losses right now and book it in somewhere ASAP, waiting a few days with a specialist will be much better then waiting weeks for a rebuild if it blows up, I appreciate your current position and requirement for a vehicle daily but you may have to find other means temporarily.

 

What he said.^^

 

its not moving now till its 100 percent sorted, friday a mate can get a low loader for me then it can go somewhere PROPER

 

I bet the inlet pipe is either not on fully or has been damaged whilst changing the turbo, this confuses the MAF heavily
