What is the issue with insufficient turbocharging in the Buick Regal 1.6t?
1 Answers
The issues causing insufficient turbocharging in the Buick Regal 1.6t are as follows: 1. Blockage: The air filter of the turbocharger is clogged, increasing suction loss and resulting in insufficient boost pressure. 2. Oil buildup: Excessive oil deposits in the internal air passages of the compressor section increase airflow resistance, leading to reduced boost pressure. 3. Damage: For externally supported turbochargers, if the air seal on the back of the compressor is damaged, a significant amount of air will leak from the back to the intermediate housing and be expelled along with the exhaust gas from the turbine, also causing a drop in boost pressure.
