406 exec petrol turbo
hi all . i have a petrol turbo 406 . just fitted a new turbo [old turbo seized]. plus oxeygen sensor . [ to stop the pinking] . found out it was not the lambda sensor . as still pinks . it tends to pink from 3 gear up when you excelerate . power seems to be down . ie doesn't feel as if the turbo is boosting like it should . compare it to a 21 turbo . the 21 will eat it . i know the 21 has a bigger turbo . but i feel there should be more turbo feel than there is . also i get a strong smell of petrol coming from the drivers side . but have found no fuel leaks . any ideas and help would be much appreciated .
Re: 406 exec petrol turbo
The turbo on those things is VERY subtle (but you'll know if it's not there 
), combined with the lazy valve timing and soft seats+suspension means it feels a lot slower than it is.
Pinking is also common on these things. Never worked out why...

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
