Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes:
I had a problem with my original turbo. Basically the actuator(? Not sure if its the right term. In Finland we call it turbo clock but dont believe its the right term in english) on the turbo, where the shaft thing is connected was stuck, and I only got boost in high rpms and was very sluggish in low rpms.
I replaced the turbo and immediately heard this weirdly strong woosh sound when building boost, and some flutter when letting go of the throttle. Still I took it for a spin and sure enough: no power in high rpms. Checked everything and replaced the MAF.
After not finding anything I took to a mechanic and sure enough the new turbo was bad.
Welp. I got the turbo changed again at a mechanic. Deleted the egr system by blugging the end of the exhaust manifold and coding it out of the picture. Now I’d say it pulls better in the lower rpms but still has no power in the high rpms and has this weird flutter sound when letting go. I called another mechanic about the issue and they told me its possible my original turbo had a bigger turbine/flaps or something along the lines but it still doesnt explain the fluttering sound. Plus now its like really slow in the high rpms. I could understand it being a bit slower but it just doesnt really pull at all. Im talking several second 80-100kmh if not over 10. When i change the gear it will move normally and accelerate 80-100kmh in just a couple seconds or so.
Now i checked for fault codes and it threw a code of ”oil temperature sende” when driving at about 2100rpms. When i slowed down it didnt come back again. Also it doesnt throw the code when accelerating. Only when sitting at around that 2100rpm mark at 110kmh.
I also got a code for solenoid 1 (n88) but dont believe that would affect anything that has to do with acceleration/lack of power. Correct me if im wrong.
Any ideas of what could be the problem? N75 valve or? Im honestly stuck with this cause as a student im really tight on money and am trying to sell the car. Thank you in advance.
