lydanial Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 about what rpm's should the turbo kick in? i have had a new turbo fitted and all is running well.. ok so i had to change the exhaust too as there was a sump full of oil in it and that caught fire on a short run. i have only given it a short test drive and not put the boost on too much as i want to get the new turbo bedded in. also i am having a full engine diagnosis first to make sure nothing else is wrong. anyway i am sure before the turbo went that it would cut in at about 1500 rpm, but now its definately higher than that. where does your turbo come in??

mumof4 Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 I believe the turbo should kick in at around 2k revs as it IIRC it is kickstarted by the exhaust gasses...from what i can remember... :o Quote
tim-spam Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 It should 'kick in' at around 1300 - 1400rpm - maximum torque occurs at 1900rpm. To test, roll along at around 1000rpm in 3rd, and then put your foot down - you should start to feel some real 'push' at just over 1300rpm. Quote
