new2thisgame 5 Report post Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) Hi team, i hope this message finds you well. I had my vacuums lines replaced 2 weeks ago along with rear turbo. ( wastegate was stuck in the open position) The job was completed by a BMW dealer under warranty, so it should be good workmanship ( we hope so anyway ) The car drove like a rocket for the first 2 weeks, then i noticed a slight loss of power, exhaust slightly louder, car running slightly sluggish. no engine lights have come on, no fault codes from Torque engine management diagnostic tools and MHD flasher NOTE: Toruqe app real time boost psi and vacume readings do not go into positive, is this normal? 335i.pdf335i.pdf I dont have anymore to evidence to show the workshop. and they are hesitant to help further Is there anymore testing i can do or any advice from fellow BMW owners to help build a case to present to dealership. any advice would be appreciated. (I have attached a copy of invoice notes, to give a clearer picture) regards Edited December 1, 2016 by new2thisgame Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matth5 471 Report post Posted December 1, 2016 I'd say insist on the BMW workshop testing the car. They should have their own tools to log turbo boost as well. Not sure on Torque logging boost with the N54 engine. On the N55 it works ok, I've tried it on mine before. Whats the min and max readings you're seeing? Negative values when cruising or idling is normal as it can create a slight vacuum when not under load. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
