Test driven car today, and where getting no boost, Is there any other test we can do to check if turbo is spinning, no misfires on engine, seems to drive like a normal 1275, without a turbo, boost gauge

Take off the hose coming from the turbo to the plenum, rev the engine up and you should feel a good whoosh of air coming out of the pipe, hand dryer in toilets kind of amount. Can you move the actuator rod by hand, it should have spring loaded pressure, but you should be able to grab it and move it. Also have you fitted the actuator with pre load, you should have to pull the rod approx 3 to 4mm to get it to fit over the wastegate arm pin.

Is the inlet restricted to the turbo?

You need to rev it fairly hard, but it should be blowing. Can you spin the impellor with your fingers through the inlet on the compressor housing? You should be able to spin it quite easily.

I've just rev it high realy high and you can just feel a small amount of air so I'm going to check how easy the impellor spins.

Maybe the turbo is seized. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

OK I’ve striped the turbo off the engine and I can see nothing wrong, there’s no end float and It spins freely with slight restriction, took some pictures for you to look at.. Alan

Echoing everybody else, check the actuator, they should pull out with a bit of pressure, if its very easy to pull out it's no good, or the diaphragm in it may be split? On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

When you blow air into the actuator It opens..

I just went out to look at mine, took a fair bit of pressure to pull out the standard actuator by hand. What's yours like? The only other thing i can think of is the hose bore to the actuator not being big enough maybe?

Can you take a pic of how the actuator arm sit in comparison to the waste gate pin. Basically what the preload looks like? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

As far as i'm aware, you should have to pull the actuator arm about with width of the pin to pull it onto it, about 4-6mm short of it dropping right on with the wastegate closed. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

Can’t take a pic at this stage, because I’ve striped it down, but when I first put the turbo on the engine, I was told there was too much presser on it, so made it like my sons turbo mini, just pulling it closed with slight presser.. Alan Main Build

If you can move it with the pressure of blowing on it, I'm guesing the spring has weakened, and if you have barely any preload it's not going to do much anyway!

If 5mm preload doesn't suss it, try asking one of the local lads to pop round and take a look at it, there's plenty turbo nuts about in Yorkshire! On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:
