Hi there... Multi has been quite dead in power lately.
Taking off and particularly when cold it's real easy to stall the engine...I've noticed it's after getting lumpy aswell just over the 2000rpm mark..lumpy enough in that you can feel the vibration even at 60mph till you get past that Rev range.
It bombs along fine in the motorway..80 mph no prob up hills etc.
Anyway decided this eve to have a poke round see if any of the hoses were loose etc around turbo/inter cooler actuator etc and all seemed fine.
Took off the actuator hose, ran the engine to see if there was much vacuum...there's a bit not a whole heap but definitely some(only checked at idle didn't have anyone to rev engine)
Anyway decided to leave vac hose off just to see what engine would be like without turbo... And there was no difference.
Does this plunger only operate the wastegate?( therefore I was actually running at full boost with the hose off?)
Put hose back on and got the missus to start the engine while I kept an eye on turbo actuator and the plunger moved nice and promptly when she started it.
Any ideas...
Marty.
