dyoungen Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I'm selling my 505T Diesel and have a question. How can I find out if the turbo is working? How can I find out if the wastegate is turning and where is the wastegate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trymes Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Generally, you can hear the turbo spool when driving. It sounds like a whoosh/whistle. The wastegate would be located on the turbo itself, and to confirm it is moving you would remove the actuator arm and twist it to make sure it isn't stuck. Then you would want to manually apply air to the actuator to make sure that the diaphragm isn't torn. Having said that, if you have to ask, this might be a bit much. How mechanically inclined are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRDT Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 To feel the turbo working you need a turbo that work but also and a pump that give the extra fuel, if the boost compensator isn't doing his job then the boost is useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
