2012 Turbo Replacement

Ah OK I see it on mine now. Thanks!

Pulled a spark plug, looks like it's seen better days. Probably needs new ones eh

Spark plug gap looks excessive! :O

Would that cause boost issues? I know the ecu in these things will freak out and disable boost for things like that

Also measured the voltage going to the boost solenoid. 10.5V normal?

Just popped a p0193, fuel pressure sensor high reading.

Wtf

If the boost solenoid did not function the car should default to wastegate pressure. Maybe 6 to 8 psi boost ?? The boost solenoid shuts off the wastegate boost lines in effect building more boost because the wastegate will not open. So if it fails, theoretically you either get max boost or wastegate boost pressure. I don't think it would be zero.

Certainly would not hurt to put some new properly gapped plugs in.

Looks like a fairly easy job compared to a lot of transverse engine cars

Well good news! Wastegates actuate normally to my untrained eye when pressurized to 8 psi

If I go under the car is it pretty easy to take off the intake side hose to check out the compressor/shaft?

Final update: went under the car to check out the front turbo. Shaft has A LOT of play and the compressor fins are banged up a bit. She's ******
