    Hi, guys,
    I have this ongoing boost problem on my 09 volvo with d13. It started when driving. NO codes. What is happening is when boost pressure goes to about 12-13 a little vibration starts and boost almost stops to go up. I need to press harder on the gas or sometimes release and step on gas again for boost to go up normally.
    History of repairs: about 60k miles ago new EGR and VGT solenoid. Also last weekend took care of intake leaks i had.
    No regen problems at all - new 7th injector and clean dpf. Regens are normal in length and occurrence.
    Any idea what can cause my problem?
     
    Johny41 Thanks this.

    I had about same lag / delay in turbo boost response when the turbo actuator was bad and also when the 2 Bosch boost pressure sensors on ERG cycle get clogged ; I replaced actuator 2 times, and 3rd time last year I decided to replace the whole turbo was still original at 1.2 mil;
    If is the actuator be careful , is going to throw a turbo code, and derate you may need towing, and some Volvo shops are going to try to sell you the whole turbo for 4800$ installed, but the actuator is 900-1000$ parts+1-2 hour labour;

    Check your air to air for any leaks. A minor one would cause this. Also, be sure to clean the vnt vanes before/when changing actuator. If the arm is stiff or sticks, take exhaust side off of turbo and spray oven cleaner in it while moving the arm back and forth. Do this until it moves freely. Original actuator may still be good if this is the case

    Does spraying oven on the back side of the turbo clean the vanes good? I want to try this.

    I am trying to fix this problem on my truck. Volvo just replaced the turbo. I have replaced the sensor on the intake manifold three times. The Venturi sensor was changed. What is the other sensor that gets clogged?
