Not the wastegate vacuum actuator (which is easy to change) unfortunately.

I see what your talking about now, shitty imagine if your a normal customer that's paying someone to install this turbo a second time to get this resolved

Ah, yes. I seen the housing used for about 4-500. Bummer. Cant be machined? Also if you're gonna replace see if the 2014 version of that has a bigger exhaust outlet. If you're feeling adventurous try this

I'd have to remove the unit to replace the wastegate. I know N54 wastegate repair kits are available, but I haven't seen N55 parts kits.

If I'm removing it I'm not going to go through that too anyway, just exchange the whole unit.

Sucks! I have been waiting about 4 weeks for my turbo from Pure, hope fully they can get yours sooner since it is a replacement.

I'll give you guys this... small bridge not far from my house reflects sound nicely. 5mph roll up into 3rd. Took on way home. Car not making the power it was now that the wastegate is binding, but still quick.

Damn! That sounds mean, Stück. That thing is a beast.

Sorry to hear about the issues, I hope it gets resolved for you soon.
Was it an issue ever since you installed the Pure Stage 2?
Is Pure sending you a replacement?

Wow, she sounds nice and shift so quick! You know, this is the first time we saw your car in action since we started tuning her.

Now, how about we help you with S63 N63 swap?

Nope, no updates. Ball is entirely in my court to move forward. I did some other mods this past weekend, and I've been working on a side project. I haven't had time to allot to pushing.

Soon. Actually contemplating going outside to fiddle with the F10 right now, but its hot, and I just ate so I'm full, and I'm tired/lazy lol.

Essentially my WGDC is nearly maxed out, well over double what it should be for the boost level I'm at. Either the EPDW pressure converter is failing, or the turbo is binding really bad now. On my way home today I went to pass someone from a stand still and zip around them, it was nothing nothing nothing upon tipping in.... then massive wanton wheel spin with copious tire squeal. Think when they hit the "NOS" in F&F and break traction.

Something is wrong, I need to swap the EPDW from the X3 to my F10, and if that doesn't improve it I need to pull the damn turbo.

It could be a few things, most likely I would think is tearing the diaphragm in the diverter valve. Are you running stock boost?

Its not the wastegate, it was sticky back when but has proved to be a non-issue since. Just won't make more than ~15psi and drops to 11 after 5300 or so.

I've done all the trouble shooting I can without pulling the turbo.
