blown turbo thoeries

I knew it was dangerously lean just from hearing him try to drive it before tuning, but I was surprised how bad it was at idle and very light throttle too. Pretty scary stuff.

Dr. Dos:

  1. Make sure all the housing bolts are torqued evenly and to spec.
  2. Don’t use a pry bar or other excessive force to install the turbo or any of the pipes it is attached to and the housings won’t be misaligned.
  3. You have the phone number to get a new BOV spring.

Take care of those things and you should be in good shape. I didn’t know you hacked your BOV spring until you called me today to ask about getting a new one. In the future if you know something like that is hacked up or ghetto rigged, it’s important for your tuner to know these things.
