jherr Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 So i was getting ready to go stage 2 right before my CEL came on. Since it's still under warranty I took it in to the dealership and they determined that it was an issue with the turbo and said they would have to replace it. My question is, when I get my car back, is there any sort of break in period that needs to be exercised with the new turbo? And should I wait to put on my downpipe and flash my tune for stage 2? Btw, I looked around on the forum but all I could find were discussions about breaking in aftermarket turbos on cars that were already tuned and such so I wasn't sure.

adreyna Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 After the first couple rotations the turbo is as good as it ever will be. Generally if it doesn't fail as soon as the turbine spin for the first time it should be good to go. As long as you put on the st2 and dp at the same time you can do it anytime you wish.

robitrice Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 did the dealer say why ur turbo went? cause it could very well happen again if it was not related to the turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibr_adam09 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I went ~500 miles on low boost with my new turbo, but that was because of paranoia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jherr Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 did the dealer say why ur turbo went? cause it could very well happen again if it was not related to the turbo. Nope, I'm working out it but haven't gotten a get a clear answer from them yet. I would really like to know though because it went out at 38,000 miles:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
