Turbo related issue

Post by VWCade »

Hi all, in need of help from someone who has experienced this problem.

My van made a boom noise the other day. Intercooler had blown up. Took the rad with it. Then ran tests to figure out the source of the problem. First checked the dash which shown vacuum leak. So ran vagcom and no codes (tried multiple times).
So resulted at looking at the turbos vacuum lines to see if they’re in the correct place (new 1.6tdi replacement engine just been put in and EGR pipes all Cleaned up) all in correct place.
So then disconnected the pipes running into the intercooler and bridged the gap with a pipe to gather more/new ideas on issue at hand.
Pipe flew off when given some gas at 3k revs in second (was kinda hilarious) so now currently set on it being the waste-gate not releasing pressure, whether it’s sticky, broke, stuck open/closed.

I’m hardly experienced at all. So anyone with a rough idea on what I should try next or possible solutions would be great. Hope this all makes sense. Cheers
