Have you got a cooler? Check all pipes and connections. Check the intake pipe to the turbo to make sure its on properly and that any holes are properly bunged Wastegate...

To find out if it is a wastegate problem, just get a piece of wire and wrap it round the waste gate flap at the rear to hold it shut and take it for a easy squirt down the road just keep an eye on your boost gauge cause if you floor it it will over boost to what ever the t 3 will boost too! Worked for me quick and easy stuff the mechanic too much mucking around it is i quick DYI!!

this forum really needs to allow swearing, it limits most peoples vocabulary way too much if you just paid a mechanic to do all this and it falls over the next day, id take it straight back to him and let him work it out. my hands are dirty enough as is Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i had the same thing happen, as has been said. check your cooler piping, mine was blowing off at more than 15psi

lol trying to reattach blown off cooler pipes is a pain in the ass

mine wasnt I had t get brackets welded up to the piping to prevent it though Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
