I'm getting code P0234 Overboost Condition. This happened about a month ago, and I went through the turbo system and ended up cleaning the MAP sensor and the issue went away. The intercooler only had a few ounces of oil in it, but the sensor was filthy.
A day or two ago I noticed the turbo whistle was louder. Yesterday after work I spun out on some sand, which caused the engine to rev high, and the car went into a sort of low power mode. It did this the last time I had this problem. This isn't a panic limp mode, it just feels like a reduced power mode where I can still get up to speed, but it just takes a while. The CEL does not come on, but when I plug in a scanner there is the code.
So, if I can get to it this weekend, I plan on pulling the intercooler and checking the sensor again. If the sensor has oil on it, what should I do? Where is the most likely source? Would oil on the MAP sensor cause this?
