Update. Last you knew, all was fixed but the turbo.

I repaired the chafed wires the right way with butt connectors. These chafed wires were the wires that went to the map sensor on the intercooler.

I also found a vaccuum tube up by the cabin wall that seemed to have a leak. I fixed that too.

I started the car and the turbo was working great. ALL FIXED. I drove the car back home 1500 miles.

Because I fixed 2 things, I am not sure which one allowed my turbo to operate again but it was one of those 2 things, and both of them were part of the turbo.


Thanks yall! Yall life savers!
Could have been either or both. Vac tube leak may have caused poor turbo actuation if it was in the actuator vacuum circuit. Code makes me think broken MAP sensor wire was the real issue. Glad you got it done.
