Roy, I don't have to read the thread to understand what wastegates do.

I hope you don't pop holes in your pistons before getting your *** to the dealer.

update,

my car has been at the dealer for 2 days. they ran a bunch of diagnostic stuff, eg. check ecu , hoses, etc. they can not find anything wrong. they were able to replicate BAR of 1.3. Again car is not chipped, it is a stock x50.
they spoke with Porsche technical and they think it is related to the diverter valves (which is wrong and my service advisor knows this), valves have been on for 1 year and did not have this problem until 1.5 months ago. so they want to dial down the wastegates. this seems like a bandaide fix and will it hurt the performance of the car?


thx

roy
