sekkyoshi Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Is it possible that a bad turbo could behave like a cooling issue? This is a curiosity question only, I have replaced ask parts in the original problem, I just never found the casue and it still bothers me.

rossman Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 It would help if you would describe the symptoms you are experiencing. In general more power will generate more heat thus requiring the cooling system to reject more heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekkyoshi Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 It would rapidly lose power in the hotter part of the day. I replaced the cooling system in it's entirety including the waterpump housing and theproblem persisted. Note that I found deep scoring on the water pump impeller seating surface. I haven't inspected the turbo hot side housing yet but I expect to see cracks, at least I hope. This prob went on for months and covered 3 stock radiators and 2 motors. Motors pulled more for trouble shooting than any thing else. It's behaving fine now with a new turbo I just feel like I was barking up the wrong tree for so long that I deserve an explination.
