Turbo Lagging after Driving at El Mirage...what do I do?
I took my car out to El Mirage on Saturday and drove it around in the dirt.
My car was very dirty afterwards, so I cleaned everything up (INCLUDING air filter). Now it seems to be lagging. The turbo is lagging when I go WOT, seems to be kicking in at later RPMs. Do I need to clean the MAS ? If so what do I use to clean? Could it be anything else?

Take a quick look at your tmic. It could have a small hole in it. It happened to mine and i could still hit full boost but it took awhile and felt a bit slower.
Also if not try reseting the ecu, and clean the maf sensor, use brake cleaner or starter fluid. |

.....So I checked the MAF sensor, and the thing was black!
I bought the MAF sensor cleaner at pep boys for $5. Sprayed the cleaner on the sensor, Reset the ECU, and everything is running great now! No Turbo Lag anymore! This Sensor cleaning solution made a world of a difference. I would definately recommend for everyone to clean the sensor everytime you clean your air filter. |
