Ok here is the problem with my car. It makes no power when the boost kicks in. When I say the car is slow I mean the car can barely keep up on the highway at 75-80 mph. Driving around town is fine and the extra torque from the 2.3 helps alot. Dont get me wrong the turbo starts to spool early (2600-2800 rpm) but when it does it makes a high pitch whistle sound. Boost leaks? I had some at the thottle body and at the bov but rtv'd them shut. Blown turbo? There is no shaft play in/out or side to side. No oil in the intake pipe/intercooler pipes. No extreme smoke blowing out the exhaust when the turbo spools. I recently put on a new fmic and that didnt help. So the last thing I can think of is the actual wastegate actuator....what do you guys think? If it is bad would I still make boost?
