Hey Everyone,
I drive a 2009 BL MPS 3.
Since i've serviced my car and had my gearbox replaced for the wong noise (which is back), i've noticed that the car feels slower.
This is my first turbo car as well as my first manual car.
My car just use to build boost steadily and power felt progressive.
Whereas now the boostgauge doesn't quite fill as easily and at lower rpm's (1500 -2000)there isn't even the slightest hint of boost?
IF i plant my foot it seems to fill alot faster but just feels as though it isn't maintaining boost?
Is this the normal characteristic of a turbo car?
Or maybe the infamous 'detuned' feel after a service?
Any recommendations on how a newb like me can check for a boost leak?
Will the turbo spool in neutral if i rev it?
And if i keep the bonnet open is the typical sound a 'hiss' sound?
Sorry about all the questions but any light on the matter will be appreciated.
