Turbo probs
Hi. the turbo light should come on with the egnition switch on and go out when at tickover. at around 1200 rpm under load the turbo light should come on and u will feel the power come in. the light is driven by a pressure transducer in the manifold prior do the over boost dump valve. to see if the turbo is working, attach a pressure gauge to the blanking plug and read the changes. alternatively u can take off the hose from the filter to the turbo and see if it goes round while the engine is running.It should be a loud whine. Do not poke yourself or anything else in there while it is running.
