Turbo going to need rebuild - but why behaviour?
Just purchased a 2004 NB that was turbocharged 2 years ago.
The person who did it was immaculate in the installation.
Sold it 8 months ago to another person who for whatever reason decided to replace the oil restrictor on the T28 turbocharger recently.
I suspect he starved the turbocharger.
I picked it up for a song since he needed money for another build.
Car was driven to my house (8 miles).
Before ending up in my driveway I was told that the turbo will pull properly until it gets hot - and then power drops to nothing.
I am a newbie with turbocharging.
Interested in why it would work until it was hot - as opposed to not working at all.
Thanks,
L
