Hi all, newbie here, can you help please?
I have a 26 ft motorboat, ford sabre 212 hp with turbo, when i bought it it was going well but now it is very smokey, when i run under load at 2000 revs (6 knots) all is ok but if i go up to 2500revs then she starts to throw out black smoke (really bad), if i go up to 3000 revs she seems to clear herself, i can hear the turbo coming in at 300revs , i have had a full oil change + filters also new diesel filters, injectors have been checked and ok , i can turn the turbo with my finger when she is stopped (but i dont know how free it should be)?,
I dont know if it has a wastegate , if any one can tell me if it should have one please let me know, there is a slight play in and out on the impeller but i dont know what is acceptable, suggestions please, if i have replace or repair turbo where can i get this done??
Thanks in advance
