Could it be over-boost? Need your help on this one MINIacs!
Hi Guys,
I own a 2008 MCS with a JCW tuning kit. I bought it used with 36k about 8 months ago and just hit 46k today. Last night, my check engine light came on right about the same time that I noticed a major change in my turbo.
Normally, my turbo would spool at around 3,000 or so rpm's and have little to no audible blow-off when shifting. Suddenly, it has begun spooling at only 1500 rpm's with a blow-off that is far stronger and louder than ever before.
As exciting as that sound actually is, there is clearly something wrong. I am checking the code after work today and will post is as soon as I know.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any suggestions?
Thank you all!
