Default turbo problems....

hey whats going on folks... I love my s4 in every way, shape and form. However as of late I have been experiencing problems re: the vehicle.

my biggest problem is that I Took it to a local mechanic to change the compressor and after wards my turbo is not the same. I took out the battery and unplugged the ecu. When i reapply the battery and the ecu, the first boost is very strong like normal conditions, afterwards it runs like a v6 without the turbo. Does anyone know whats the deal???

i have upgraded ecu, and intake.

i will post pics soon once the car is in good shape again, thanks alot guys.

Default A/c compressor I assume. Maybe he overlooked an IC hose clamp or something and you have a boost leak

It sounds like you are going into limp mode.
