Two years ago I bought a new VNT Turbo for my car as I was in this space of wanting to jack my car. I got new injectors and deleted the EGR and got a Stage Two Malone tune and thought I was going to have a better car that was more responsive and faster.
I wish I had my old stock car back at this point, as my newish (<15k miles) VNT Turbo died today. I was getting positive deviation codes there for a while, had a shop adjust the actuator and then all was good. One day the car feels gutless and check engine light comes on. Negative Deviation now
Shop says the turbo vanes are worn and not spinning. I bought a new turbo and will install, but I am curious if there is something that is causing this?
I've drained my intercooler, which didn't have much to drain at all, maybe a teaspoon of oilish liquid.
Is there something else I should be checking? It seems a new turbo should last longer than 15,000 miles! I bought new from ID Parts for several hundred dollars. makes me sick.
Thoughts?
