All will be fine Justin, hope your luck turns around soon! Keep us updated were all hoping for a good result for you!
So any headway or discovery on the issue, sounds like safe mode to me, try an ecu reset if you cant find anything obvious.

If all your intercooler and intake hoses and clamps are OK, did you check your turbo wastegate vac hose is OK and for vac solenoid functionality?
Take the hose off and check its entire length, suck/blow on it under water and check for leaks and/or secure fitment.
If the hose and its fitting looks OK stick that hose (or a longer hose that you can work with more conveniently) back on the solenoid and apply a vacuum to it see if the wastegate control arm moves.
If that all works, check that you are not in ECU "safe" mode by resetting it, as someone else suggested, before pulling the turbo off.

BT-50 yeah i know your impressed
still at MRT
yes very long ... got a call today said turbo is done, but found the o2 sensor is damaged which will be 6xx dollars to replace, ask me if I want to fix or not.
I just said yes coz I want my car back so bad....told it might be done this afternoon, but haven't heard anything since.
Really sorry to hear about all the problems you are having with your car, and the expense to get everything fixed or replaced. Did you ask them how the o2 sensor is damaged and which one is damaged?
I tend to feel that maybe you have not been getting the best advice from the current people you are getting your car fixed / serviced. If I remember right, they told you your turbo is no good, then replaced it with another turbo, then they told you only way to quiet your car down was to replace whole exhaust (from memory I think you just went somewhere elso and got a muffler welded in) and now the turbo that they replaced has been fixed or replaced again and all of a sudden you have a bad o2 sensor.
It may be a good idea to go and see some other reputable mechanics in your area, or catch up with some of the mechanically minded member from the forum, everything just sound like too much bad luck with the ones you currently use.
Hope that everything gets sorted out for you and your car is back on the road.

thanks man,
ya I know what you mean, for me it's just because the shop is just too close to my place, I will see which o2 sensor they replaced and let you guys know once I got the car back.
cheers
That sux man i would be pissed off, my bet they may have removed something and threaded the 02 sensor, happened with me when DP install, lucky they were able to retap it lol. sounds a bit pricey on the sensor but thought maybe 400-500 max. I would be asking for cost price on all parts as it sounds like they have fcked something up as this is un-usual to hear happen
