All four at 400 is good.
The crap you found was that blocking the oil line or the intake?
Have you talked to the turbo place yet? Did the guy there have any input?
What do you mean torsion?? On the Turbo?If you keep posting you’re progress on this I’m going to learn some stuff too. Just out of curiosity what is your torsion set at?
Welcome to the joys and glory, slumps and failures...Lots of time a failed turbo will send metal chunks out the boost side and punch holes in the boost hose attached to the turbo.
Are there any DTCs? Is the engine running OK aside from just a lot of smoke, or is it really down on power? A stutter or hesitation?
The engine should run perfectly fine, albeit slow, with no boost at all.
Sorry just tuning in to this thread.
I've thought of that but there are no signs of coolant loss. With the no smoke condition I can at least drive it for a longer run and determine what's really gone wrong.Is the EGR cooler leaking?

I've still been following your thread. It looks like on your AXR engine you have an ALH or similar intake. The entire intake can get crusty depending on the sulphur content of your fuel over there.
That little butterfly valve should move and if you have a mity vac you could also check to see if it holds vacuum, it should and the vacuum should also move the vertical rod. if it wont hold vacuum you might be able to find one in a junkyard, I think you call them breakers.
Im using freeware VCDS light, if it get to the point where I need specific test that can't be found logging data, then I may have to fork out the 200 USDObviously been removed, still looks like original markings though, maybe the previous owner was having problems and tried to clean it. If someone had it off and tried to clean it, there is somewhat limited success cleaning those type of parts.
That has got to be the cleanest intake I’ve seen outside of a new one. Good job.
I believe under out put tests in vcds you can test both your egr and map.
What did you torsion setting turn out to be?
Im not sure if the turbo I have from Borg Warner is only used with the 1.9TDI, perhaps also used on the GTD...A “weary experience “ is more or less a VW thing.
There is something called a “dog collar” that keeps that top seal connected properly where the hose plugs into the egr. However your egr is different than the ones out PD engines have here in the states. Yours looks like an ALH, BEW hybrid.
Cleaning the map and tweaking the seals is the most likely reason for less smoke but that’s just an 12k mile interweb guess.
Checking the actuator is a good idea , I would think it would have been set up correctly, but the turbo seller probably comes as close as possible and depends on the installer to fine tune it.
I was able to eliminate a very slight hesitation in my engine after a new timing belt by adjusting the torsion .5 or so. I think I would get everything else in tip top shape before doing that.
All that said think of all the fun you and your son have had. VW is responsible for that.
