Coincidence or not? But looks like my turbo is gone on the Revo mapped car  :cry:
The wife was driving it, and its squeeling like a pig now.
Will be getting the sump off to check the oil pick up pipe is clear when I get a new turbo.
Does your wife drive like mine then  :grin:

:grin: Actually she said "There's a wind noise when I do 90 mph", I drove it next day and it screams immediately the boost is up. These things happen I suppose, and I am aware of the extra loadings on engine components when its mapped.
Having said that I don't know how its been driven for the last 73000 miles, so I cant blame the remap completely. If the oil feed pipe has blocked then that will cause it, so I will be looking at that.

A few years ago she had a Mini cooper S JCW, which was 210bhp standard. I couldn't keep with her on the bends in my Scooby wrx I had at the time, that thing just stuck to the road, and with her driving  :shocked:
