Working or not working.

Stupid question i know, but if i have no turbo light on my 3ltr 1993 and dont hear or particularly feel turbo cutting in, How do i know if its working or how can i check it? Car runs perfectly, just curious.
Dumb and Dumber, you aint seen nothing yet.
I think the forum virus is getting worse, i need to log in atleast 3-4 times a day. I even got a TV card for computer to ween me of, but doesn't help.
All the best Philip

should hear it... try a turbo guage?... it's not NOS so it's not gonna give you any feeling of Gforce!

I dont think there is a TURBO light on the 3.0

Mine doesn't have one - just the engine check light.

You don't want the turbo light coming on a 3.0, they only have a fault light. No lights is good news.



You can't hear the turbo, its tucked down the side of the engine unlike a 2.4 where its on top. There is no noticable turbo lag, they are smooth all the way up the rev range.

Thanks all, suppose i shouldn't look for trouble where there isn't any.

I've never heard the turbo cut in on my 3.0L either. Come to that I didn't ever hear it on my Volvo. But I know it must cut in on the Surf, cos it flys when I floor the pedal (but not too often cos the fuel needle starts to sink too quickly if I do that!!).
