I was wondering if anyone can add some input on a problem I have with my Port side tubo. I have Volvo D6 engines 2004 I had this turbo replaced under warranty last year and the reason that the turbo went bad was that I shut the engine down to quick, at least that is what I was told from the volvo mechanic when he replaced it. I had 210 Hrs on the motors at the time. I noticed that after he fixed it that the port side turbo boost gauge was reading less then the starboard side on the turbo boost gauge, it was off about 1.2 on the turbo boost gauge difference from each other. I asked the mechanic about this and he told me that it was nothing to worry about. Yesterday I went out fishing and when I tried to plane off I was not getting any reading on the port side turbo mind you this is the same side that I had the turbo replaced. I lowered the throttles back to where the turbo would not kick in and turned the boat around and started to return to my port when I almost reached my port about 1 hour of running time I noticed that the turbo kicked in I seen the turbo boost on the gauge that the turbo went on, I decided to go fishing for the day and the boat ran great no problems for the entire day. The turbo ran like it was suppose to. I was wondering what could have caused this problem of the turbo getting stuck and then freeing itself. I plan on calling the mechanic that replaced this turbo but I was wondering if anyone has any input on this problem. I have put on about 50 hours on the new turbo and it started acting up. I plan on calling the mechanic and see if they will stand behind there work. The warranty ran out on my engines this April but I had only put 50 Hours on the new turbo since it was installed.
Thanks for your replies.
