Hi all,
Though this deserved it's own thread instead of being buried in my progress thread. Looking for some assistance on fault finding as trying to resolve this without going for a new turbo.
Car:
Audi S3 57' Plate 30k miles, car bought with no service history and had sat some time before purchase.
Issues:
Also fitted a Revo CAI before I knew about this, which threw up sporadic EML's so this is now sold and the EML issue has gone with it after reverting back to standard engine cover.
Current fixes (so far):
Does it sound like the turbo is seized up from having sat?
Do the vanes within the inlet manifold seize up and cause similar issues?
Any help very much appreciated, this on top of needing a new clutch are really making me regret selling my old car. Just want it fixed so I can enjoy it!
Cheers all,
Scott

Car:
Audi S3 57' Plate 30k miles, car bought with no service history and had sat some time before purchase.
Issues:
- Car is under boosting .95 instead of 1.2.
- Car is boosting late @4krpm instead of 3krpm.
- As expected MPG is not great, barely breaching 29.0mpg on a long motorway run.
- Very apparent the car is not performing as it should be.
Also fitted a Revo CAI before I knew about this, which threw up sporadic EML's so this is now sold and the EML issue has gone with it after reverting back to standard engine cover.
Current fixes (so far):
- New PCV/PCV Gasket
- New turbo to exhaust gasket
- OBD and VCDS scans show 'Bank 1 Lean' when EML was coming on (only when Revo fitted).
- Cleaned MAF
- New spark plugs
