2008 MCS R56 Turbo Issue
2008 MCS R56 Turbo Issue
I am getting no Turbo power on my 2008 MCS R56. Engine light and engine light in Tac side with engine diagram line through middle and half lit.
No codes are thrown on OBD II. I have a third party gage that shows me boost and it does not go above "0". I have an ALTA performance Turbo Inlet Tube for R56 Turbo Engine and while at it I installed a Alta "Compressor Recirculation Valve". The latter had no impact on the issues. No noise is made by the turbo on engine running. No visible issues spotted (metal pieces, hose anomalies etc). This is the second turbo for Winston (warranty replacement at 35,000 mi on turbo disintegration) Current miles are 95560mi.
Anyone have any suggestions.
Help is appreciated.

What are you checking codes with? Did the issue start before or after installing the Alta parts? I'd double check everything with that recirc valve, make sure everything's plugged in right like the map sensor and whatever Alta does with the oem diverter valve connector. Try putting the OEM diverter valve back on and see if the car makes boost then. Then check wastegate play when the car's cold.
Codes checked with Kiwi 3 module and software. No codes. Some how a connector for the turbo was disconnected by the accident. Turbo back online.
Issues were before alta upgrade.
Thanks of help
