I’m running OTS maps & honestly they’re doing okay, but this is just to drive around lol this car is all I have & practically living out of it at this point, but I was wondering if this was seals ?
Prolly gotta replace the turbo but I hope not. no smoke.
I smell a little mix being burnt, I think it’s sucking too much fuel too
Stock fuel pump

p0245 code saying turbocharger wastegate solenoid A is low ??

I have the gfb response BOV & corksport tip short ram combo.
Everything else is stock. I thought maybe the vacuum line wasn’t reading, but max psi on my accessport is like 10.02
 
Post a log. What OTS map are you using? You can use a light amount of compressed air with a blow gun to make the wastegate open to make sure it works.

Take the downpipe off and check for cracks around the wastegate flap area. If the wastegate was removed from the turbo you need to make sure the preload is set and the flap isn't being held open when there isn't boost. That can be done at the same time as you check the flap inside the turbo.

If the solenoid has failed open, meaning it is basically allowing boost to free flow through it. Then it would run off of wastegate pressure only without anything interrupting the wastegate to build pressure higher than what it's rated for.

If it failed closed it would be like free boosting the turbo and the wastegate wouldnt open at all.

Check the shop manuals they have on here and go through the test for the solenoid after you have eliminated any mechanical concerns.
 
Thank you
Honestly I just didn’t know where to start

Pretty sure it’s all stock around the turbo
She’s basically stock lol

I’m running stage 1 + SF 93 v400
Thinking of just switching to that eco mode for a bit lol
 
Feel free to rip me a new one, but I’ve logged on the accessport, am I able to pull those up with the manager ?
