Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Ongoing technical issue = losing love for my turbo! Help!

The only significant fault code I had was for the air flow meter when the car was running very grumpy. Switched for another (possibly recon because it looked like new) and solved it.
The 4k revs issue was sometime after that. I was hoping that it was a common issue that others have experienced...

No, it doesn't feel like fuel cut. I've experienced that before.

Next time I see Luke I'll get the codes checked again. He usually knows them in his head.
Luke was surprised it wasn't the igniter or coil pack. His next thought was the ECU could be faulty.

Had the fault codes checked and cleared at Pacific a couple of times.

I have thought about removing manual boost controller... Might do that next.
Always use v power.
Not sure about timing.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Ongoing technical issue = losing love for my turbo! Help!

I'm feeling cursed. I've had three turbos in the last fifteen years and all of them have given me hell! I have a 1992 Rev2 Turbo (pic in my profile garage) that for awhile now hits 4k revs in 3rd and 4th under hard acceleration and just sits there and struggles. The car isn't really modified just a ...

Rev2 Turbo for swap, not sale

I'm after a MK1 for my Rev2 Turbo... Here's the ad I also placed in the wanted section: I just came to the conclusion today that I prefer mk1's so in light of that my mk2 turbo should go and make room for a second mk1. I hate the hassle of selling so I'd prefer a mutual exchange within the MR2 commu...

Re: Black Mk2 on the Salisbury road Saturday morning 6th June

I see.
Thanks for the info. Doubt I'll pass him again as I was just taking a tour of the South. Live just north of London now.
Unfortunately my Rev2 turbo stayed at home and only the mk1b got to experience all the lovely roads!
