    That's so cool. Here in ZA we call them VNT Turbo's (Variable Nozzle Turbine Turbochargers). And 100% spot on with the common problems, welldone! 🎉

    How to adjust a vgt turbo to start boosting at lets say1800 rpm instead of 2100 and boost a little more as well ?

    Hi on my 2008 XC90 with Electronic actuator- I put in new one but after callibeation I did 600kms and it got stuck in low position- the waste gate arm from actuator- only after few times turning off and on it came back to life and managed to drivr home. Does it mean the issue is carbon dirty turbo vanes or? Thanks for any tip!! 😊

    I have a 6.7 Cummins with a 467.7 turbo with a mechanical vgt 3 stage spring actuator. It’s adjustable. Right now at lower speeds it has massive turbo flutter and boost drop from 30 to 15 then wot it goes away and builds to 45psi no issues? Should close it more or open it more to fix the issue?

    I noticed if vanes are too closed at idle engine will bog/suffocate and will not spool fast. There is optimal position for vanes.

    Hello, I have a question regarding my whisling turbo
    The turbocharger is brand new and bought it from Garret
    And just today came up with idea to disconnect turbocharger actuator which is electric and then there's no more whisling
    Where's the problem?

      @@justasleleiva1351 could be where once the turbo has spooled up, the waste gate starts to open or if a VGT the vanes are in a position where it causes a whistle, with the actuator disconnected it’s preventing it from over boosting which doesn’t create a whistle noise.

      @GarageTechAutomotive Well it's pretty long story, but in short:
      Dpf gutted and oem turbocharger had slightly shaft play (so back pressure damaged),
      Get rid of dpf, refurbished turbo correctly installed
      Remaped at proper tuner
      Were whisling noice, tuner said turbo not 100% fine
      Drive over 7kmiles nothing changed
      Bought new turbocharger,
      Washed oil sump, checked oil supply, replaced numerous of gaskets of intake system, together with new intercooler and inspected exhaust manifold, no leaks..
      So after installing a new turbo charger after 2-3 weeks noice appeared but not so terrible as previous turbocharger
      So with this whisling i did an Europe trip, nothing went wrong
      Except still whisling, there plenty of power
      Until yesterday i came up with idea to disconnect electric actuator and then there's no whisling at all... so i can't really figure out what should i look next. I do suspect bad map

      @@justasleleiva1351 so do you still get the same power and boost with it disconnected? I would suspect that due to the modifications the whistle is probably normal if the turbo is still good. After a few miles it’s likely it’s built up some soot and the way the air flow now goes it just makes that noise. I know on some VW’s there used to be little air guides within the downpipe of the turbo which helped direct the exhaust gasses in such a way it reduced any whistle noise. Deleting the DPF will also change the way the exhaust gases swirl around plus the reduced back pressure and increase in boost. Have the mappers given any thoughts?

      @@bsee_1aquinteroalfredlouis884 the vacuum diaphragm valve is control by an electronic solenoid valve which is basically a switch which allows the vacuum pressure to move the control rod which moves the vanes. The solenoid valve is electronically controlled by the engine ECU. The vacuum pressure is created by a vacuum pump 👍🏼

    would a geared turbo be a better solution if possible in cars?
    I know jet engines have geared turbofans that obviously work on different mechanisms, but seem to be the best solution for jets.
    Is it just complexity holding it back from cars or is there something else?

    • @GarageTechAutomotive
      @GarageTechAutomotive  7 місяців тому

      Suspect it would be the turbo lag or just general complexity. Probably why they have sequential turbos with one small and one big.

    Why is my boost air so hot ?

    • @GarageTechAutomotive
      @GarageTechAutomotive  7 місяців тому

      Hey, is this a problem with your car or just a general question on what causes the boost air to be hot. As the turbo is connected to the exhaust naturally there’s heat transfer. Secondly, when you compress air it heats up, hence why it’s common to have an intercooler.
