New turbos replaced under warranty- car feels slow?

Well, I just got my car back with new turbos installed (under warranty) and new vacuum solenoids. Expecting it to feel like new, I was happy to get on the highway....but something feels off. Like I am not making full boost consistently. No way to log, car is stock for now. One weird observance- in third gear, WOT, the rpms would climb non-linerally ( fast-slow-fast-slow-fast-slow), but this phenomenom ceased after driving for a while. Yet, no CEL's or SES's So:
1) Is this just getting used to a stock car? 2) Is there some sort of break-in for the turbos before they will operate fully? 3) Could this be a boost leak somewhere, or what else could it be? Last edited by KaiserN54; 09-27-2012 at 03:08 PM.. |

If it continues, I would bring it right back to the dealer and take them for a drive and show the issue...

Ecu is usually good about throwing codes. That said I'd have driven the car right back.

Sounds like the dealer made a stupid mistake by blocking your waste-gate actuator arm with the v-clamp on the DP's. Check yourself or go back to the dealer...it is an easy fix if that's it. GL

you would throw underboost or overboost codes. maybe your car had a flash tune on and now they reflashed to stock.

OP,
Did your car have a tune prior to the turbo replacement? The dealer could have updated the factory software to the latest version, which a lot of folks do not like. the combination of no aftermarket tune and the new factory software version could make the car feel slow.

Nice, I'm going to use that quote from now on.
A stock 335 is slow, anyway.

Just don't go full WOT on your trip to the gas station.
