What do you guys think?

Turbocharger has less than 1000 miles on it.

Wastegate doesn't seem to be stuck open or closed.

Boost pressure taps out at 10psi

Whines like a supercharger.

Doesn't howl, doesn't wooo, doesnt seem to rattle. No smoke either.

Yeah there is still boost up to 8-10psi but then it falls off. She said it was running normally then after a WOT one afternoon it started doing that.

did you pop off a hose?

 

[trdtoy]

Yes, you need to look to see if there are any obvious boost leaks and fix them. If nothing obvious you need to boost leak test the car.

 

[BlueBoostVT]

She's Got this going on too.

May or may not be a faulty bov and some flanges for the bov have been known to leak as well. Much to check here need a boost leak test.

Yeah. I'm gonna gather that the new turbo installed was just a bad egg. Unless it was from the previous blown turbo. But I doubt it.

Yes, way too much oil there!
