STI3 Turbo Problems
#1
The turbo is making very loud whistles and not boosting much. I have not got a boost gauge yet, but it can't be more than 0.5 bar.
I had the heat shield off this morning to check to see if the wastegate is cloing correctly, and everything seemed to be in line (well, 90 degrees). There is some white residue around the turbo housing, and it looks like the seal between it and the down pipe may have been compomised (it looks bubbley..) Also, the intercooler has oil in it, could a seal have gone somewhere.
To top it all off, I;ve just got a code 22 from the ECU, so need to replace the kncok sensor as well.
Any thought will be much appreciated.
cheers.

Yeah, I think I'm in limp home mode, and have a leak somewhere, thus not even getting proper limp home boost I reset the ECU this morning, and the code 22 came back after restarting the car a second time.
