My car smokes allot at lower RPM's and the turbo does not kick in until you hit about 2700. You know when it kicks in you can feel it. I don't have a boost Gage but this car snaps like a wet noodle until it gets real wound up.
When should the turbo be kicking in?
That said,
I think my turbo is sticking. I don't think the vane actuator is moving freely.
If I were to remove the turbo it is there a solvent or cleaner I can just throw it in for a few days or weeks to clean it without having to tear the whole thing apart?
I looked at the VNT cleaning procedure and it seemed like allot of work. Wouldn't a solvent do the trick if left in it long enough?
I have a tendency to drive like a 60 year old baptist minister with a sore right tow. I was thinking if I could add water injection to the ex host manifold and run it from time to time I could keep that turbo clean. "I am going to perform an ERG delete". I just wanted your thoughts on this one.
