So pretty much I start the car and dies, noticed that the charge pipe does a suction type of thing. Feels like the car has no air 🥲

All started when I replace the air filter

[Fabri]

When I unplug the whole map sensor and leaving that hole open the car runs normal

Clean your Sensor, check your install for leaks.

But why the charge pipe does a suction everytime I start the car plus the boost pipe is deformed ( under side)

[ChiltiCoatl89]

Check all your plumbing for air leaks. was that an aftermarket air filter? or an OEM? Make sure everything you removed and reinstalled is properly seated.

I just cleaned inside of the box with air and put the same one back in and the car just starting with those problems

[ChiltiCoatl89]

Check all your plastic Air connections that you removed, also, clear your fault codes after you run through your connections, then try again, and see which codes may possibly pop up again. The First code you have indicates an air leak. If you have something that is deformed or broken, you may have to replace that.

Later today I’ll clean the intercooler to see if something is clogged

[ChiltiCoatl89]

Broken Plastic Piping is normal eventually as the car ages, and even more so if it is under the weather or parked outside.

Any update on this?

Went to an Indy shop he told me the turbo is bad just because the wastegate was open when the car was off and he told me it supposed to be closed 😭

Can someone verify this?

What year is your 5er? they do have rebuild kits, also, if you have an PWG, it is common for them to fail due to the mechanical part that opens and closes the wastegate, starts to rattle and then fails, common issue with the earlier N55 Turbos.

Please verify fitment by providing your vin number. For a smooth order process, if you want a second opinion I would take it to another to make sure, however, he may be spot on on your diagnosis.

Absolutely incorrect! It should be slightly open on these engines. Don't take your car back to that shop.

The cart is way before the horse on this one. The fact you unplugged the MAP sensor and it ran means it's not seeing the discrepancy in air caused by a leak somewhere, and allowing it to run. A pipe or vacuum hose is loose or unplugged, probably when you changed the filter. If you pulled up on the airbox lid enough when changing the filter it could have loosened the intake tubing to the turbo. Make sure it's still connected to the turbo. You've got unmetered air going in somewhere.

Did you get that Air Leak fixed? you said you had something broken/deformed a few months ago.

[Hornet-01]

the best way to look for an air leak is to use smoke

[Fabri]

So pretty much it was the wastegate actuator, got a oem used one but it came open, I put pressure and closes but idk if they came like that or is supposed to be all the way closed

[Fabri]

I have drive train malfunction. Now I have time to fix the car I can provide videos and pictures on what’s going on but maybe the turbo solenoid is bad
