Hey guys,
So, I noticed yesterday while driving that my boost gauge seemed a little off. Normally, under idle, it stays around -.6 BAR and will float back and forth between that and 0 BAR under normal driving. Yesterday, after about 45 minutes of driving, the needle seemed to stay around -.4 BAR and was sort of "sticking" until I gave it a lot more throttle, then it would jump up past 0 BAR. There was also a ticking like noise coming from under the hood, but it would go away if I got on the throttle a bit. When I started it for the first time this morning, everything seemed to be normal. Once I got on the freeway and closer to work, it began doing the same thing with hovering around -.3 to -.4 BAR, but less "sticking." You guys have any thoughts? Possibly the wastegate sticking? BOV? Thanks!
