Hey, have another project and have a few things going on.

#1: The lights pulsate kind of like they are going with the music by they are not. They are just pulsating steady.

#2: The car was boosting fine....then it stopped boosting and tonight I have boost again. This all guaged off the guage and feel of the car.

Any Idea?

Thanks,
Mike

 

Bad electrical connection / wire. Or bad alternator

Waste gate stuck open.. Huge manifold leak...Dead turbo.

 

with the lights it could also be a faulty ground i got the same thing right now but just slightly

 

Yeah, my alt. is new and as far as I can see the wires seem good but will check around again.

The lights weren't doing it before...just started about a week ago. Nothing major just annoying.

As for my turbo problem I think it might be something with the waistgate but I also have the twin scroll still on as well.

Alright, figured out why my lights flicker. My "new" alter. keeps squeeling so apparantly it has decided to end it's life early.

My boost problem is somewhat fixed. I now get boost but doesnt seem the same as a few weeks ago. Once the car gets warm though I start to see oil that looks to be coming from the top side of the turbo and running down. Nothing extreme but enough to smoke.

Any idea?

Time to rebuild turbo.

 

Thats what I am afraid of.

Sucks since it came with the jspec engine that has 45-50k miles on it.

So where is the best place to get the rebuild parts for the S4 Turbo?
