Hi Guys, another one for you!
After fitting another turbo to replace my knackered one a few weeks ago, everything worked well till last week, a couple of times the turbo hasnt been spooling up, and ive been left a bit short on power. Then after a while ill try it again and it'll boost fine giving loads of power... I would imagine that if the turbo was knackered (please let it not be the turbo!) it would happen all the time and probably make a nasty noise? Anyone any ideas as its starting to get worrying... Also, my temp gauge seems to settle at around the 90-100 deg mark, and gets there quick from cold, is this normal, also the fans seem to run almost continuously, I think it seems a bit hot...

fans on the 2ltr turbo cut in at around that temp could be a sticking waste gate
