Technical Twinair turbo / EML issue

[euroben]

So diagnosis agreed by local garage... wastegate is toast.
A brand new not reconditioned full turbo from Mitsubishi is currently being fitted along with new oil feed and return pipes. Apparently an oil & filter change is necessary to gain guarantee. Looking forward to some performance gain...it was the slowest thing ever.....as it effectively had no turbo boost

Why a Mitsubishi turbo?

That's the OE manufacturer

That’s interesting, I didn’t know that.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are into all sorts - yes related to the vehicle manufacturers but separate "chapter" https://www.mhi.com/group/mhiet/company/group#turbochargers
My Volvo 940 uses a Mitsubishi Turbo 210k miles.... Older than my 27 year old son

Never skimp on TA oil changes - new turbo or otherwise! Use decent oil at the right grade (see manual) this is the life blood of and maintains the UniAir unit.

It's all in the hands of my local garage.
