Power win

[Goneremotely]

Being new and no mechanical with this may be old hat for some, but today I had a win. Had been using heaps of diesel, chugging black smoke and no power at all the mechanic initially thought I may have an issue with either injectors or turbo. Turns out it was a matter of loose clamps on the turbo hoses and a stuffed waste gate hose. Damaged hose shortened and back in place, clamps tightened and the smoke is gone and the power is back. It has been a great day avoiding a bill in the thousands! Maybe I can get that 3" exhaust after all!!

Great low cost outcome. As many on this forum have said...check the cheap things first.

I like to here reports like that! Little victories!!!
Good idea to check the cheap and easys first, I agree!

Yeah crazy wasn't it!!!

Tiny hairline crack on the ic pipe completely unnoticeable but power and ridiculously sooting and thought the worse!!!

Bloody Nissan though charging $250 for a specific elbow S shape.

Even the Nissan shop guy said there was a problem with the original hose splitting...grrr no recall of course!!!
