I would do a compression test and check engine oil and coolant make sure they havent mixed and then maybe some data logging to see if your turbo is actually making 19psi and when its making it because it shouldnt be making funny noises if its brand new?

Also, if it's on the dyno and the tuner can't tell you why you cant make power find a new tuner.You listed faulty parts and then asked why something doesn't work the way it's supposed to. So much in that first post just doesn't make sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you keep running it with the faulty turbo you are risking even more damage or even complete failure. Leave the manifold for now and get the turbo rebuilt. Throwing more expensive parts at it wont fix it. If the tuner just keeps taking your cash then he sure is taking you for a nice ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
