What do you mean turbo stopped working? stopping boosting, stopped whistling, had no power? visibly saw the turbo not turning? physically tried to turn it but couldnt?

[Pigsnake]

turbo was not whistling.car still drove but turbo would not kick in.Goin to hav a look tomorrow to see if i can turn it.

Could be boost leak, actuator knackered, penny flap disconnected from actuator or turbo has gone.

Firstly worth checking if the turbo is seized or if theres lots of play in it. Then i'd check boostpipes if turbos ok
