I've booked the car in for a smoke test just to see and I've ordered a new MAP sensor anyway which I'm picking up tomorrow.
All of these things are cheap when doing it yourself so I don't mind changing out a lot parts for new.
Changed the Diverter Valve and cleaned the MAP.
I'm now getting a very high pitch squeal when driving in Turbo range. The squeal was there before but very feint and now it is very loud.
I wonder if I actually have the correct MAP Sensor for my version of RCZ (200) or are they all the same?
I have attached a picture as to what mine looks like.
But if I go to ebay and do a search it comes back with not compatible with my car...
Then I took the MAP out a few days a go to have a look and it had quite a bit of oil on it.
I wasn't quite sure how to clean it but now have some MAF cleaner so will use that.
I keep getting confused because everyone decides to use different names for the sensors.
So please correct me:
Left of engine at the back = Turbo Boost Sensor
Under airbox = MAP
Right of engine at back = MAF
Too late. I dropped 1 so I'm going to have to find somewhere that sells that bolt as I doubt I'll find it again.
I used a ratchet with long hex bits and got them out really easy.
The unit looked fine but I ordered a new one through Neo Bros anyway as they are a cheap replacement.
Trying to get the bugger out is a mission as it feels the bolts have never been touched.
I'll see if I can get someone to test for air leaks just in case.
I did but the turbo worked and would present itself randomly.
It worked better when the air intake hose wasn't connected properly at the turbo pipe end.
Now the air intake is connected properly I'm actually getting to see some proper causes for the problems.
I'm going to take the diverter valve...
On my tester it shows Wastegate Electrovalve OCR always at 60%. At idle and with the pedal pressed.
Does this mean the waste actuator or diverter is stuck?
I bought and connected the silicone hose and eventually got it connected as the fitting can be a bit fiddly.
Beforehand I could feel the turbo kit in but now there is smooth power delivery across the range, is this working right?
Could this also be why there's no boost at all and at 1 point got a P2263 - Turbo Pressure Too High error?
I was thinking about getting it replaced with a silicone one.
I looked at this product but it has the power connector missing...
The bolt holding the lifting eye on was impossible for my rachet and socket so called a mobile mechanic to remove the bolt and then took off the cover with ease.
