TurboTobz Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Look at the compressor side of the turbo (not the exhaust side, look into the turbo if it have 4 x double blades it's a standard turbo if it has multiple blade it's a hybrid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Barnes Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Will I be able to look at it easily without taking it off? By removing the filter ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 You can always improvise if not, mirror, phone camera or something if your unsure post a picture up and we'll be able to tell you instantly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Should be able to have a look with the filter off, power steering pump might be in the way tho Get a pic and post it up if you can. Edited August 20, 2013 by RobSR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Barnes Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Also another quick question, when i plant my foot down it will sit at 0.5 bar until around 4-4500rpm then go to 0.7 bar, it just doesn't feel right Cheers Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Addymk2 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Or is it set to 0.5 and the boost spikes to 0.7? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Barnes Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Set to 0.7 I believe it used to be ok only noticed it recently Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayJ Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Standard turbo has too small wastegate so it won't flow enough making your boost go up more than it should and it's called a boost creep Quote Link to post Share on other sites
