The first red flag, Start up rattle... Car asks for more oil randomly. Sounds like a whistle which can be mistaken for intake or exhaust or even radio RF. Car has less power than before.

If you are getting any of these and are approaching the 35k or more miles on a tune, or stock settings and approaching 70k miles, I would really be worried. its a very expensive job to replace turbo/wastegate if not covered. Like 2-3k in parts, than another few k in labor.


Im going new wastegate/dv+/stage2 turbo, has a new harness... Should work. there are no codes.. nothing wrong in ista. all is green. So chasing a daemon here. A BMW dealership flagged me with a tune from a broken strut, so nothing is covered.
