Hey folks, need a little help. I believe I'm having a turbo issue with my 2011 with just over 65K miles. Was at a red light and went to accel into interstate on ramp and lost power under load. Had a shop tell me it was plugs but not convinced. I've owned turbocharged engines before and convinced it's turbos. Any guidance?

any codes?

Bdwalker

I wasn't given the codes. The codes indicated engine replacement and even the tech said that was absurd.

choi0706

the codes would give a starting point on what it could be. can you get them?

Bdwalker

No. They're not on receipt. I've been reading about a possible condensation build up in the intercooler. Any idea?

choi0706

honestly I'd have no clue without some codes 1st. was the CEL flashing? how bad are the plugs? any mods?

Bdwalker

No mods. CEL flashed then burned solid. Plugs were replaced yesterday for no apparent reason.

choi0706

has anyone worked on it prior to the issue? if so what did they do?

Do a search. I think you will find that your issue can be fixed by new spark plugs (with a different gap than stock) and drilling a small hole in your CAC to vent the moister. There are several threads on this and it is well worth your time to read them.

I just had plugs done so I'm probably late on that. I've read something about drilling the hole. What is the CAC?
