hello
i have 01 volvo 670 with d12 engine... i have this truck for over a year now and recently i changed company i work for , and i realize something is wrong... before i was pulling most of the time empty trailers but now heavy reffers...
First thing i realize it was fuel drop from 8's ro low 5s or high 4s mpg and boost its showwing usally 7-8 psi with full throttle... sometimes it go's to 15psi but with 1800rpms or higher....
last year i did overhaul (turbo, head, sensors, all new front engine with new gears , etc)
boost sensor was also replaiced year ago.
Engine starts every time w/o any problems, its nice and clean, no air leaks ... any ideas???
01 Volvo D12 pre egr boosting only 7psi

No Air Leaks? Did you mean no Air Leaks in your Charge Air Cooler, if not you could have a leak in that component.
-
yes, i mean that ... my mechanic also check last night turbo.... everything looks good.... i just purchase another boost sensor... let see if thats can help....
-
boost sensor is replaiced... still the same :/
-
It takes fuel to make boost. If the air side is good then you need to start lookin at the fuel side. Fuel pressure, injectors, fuel restrictions.
-
Check EPG....
-
whats the EPG?
no codes for injectors, no smoke going from tail pipe, caps and harness changed last year. -
Exhaust pressure governor. Can looking thing attached to exhaust side of turbo. Sometimes they can get stuck closed

i called mechanic and he said its working fine... i'm not sure how he check this but thats what he said...
he said probably its a turbo but there is now oil inside the turbo, no play on bearing... looks really good but he said there is nothing alse...
last year i did overhaul and i change front gears... maybe there is some problem?? bad timimg? but if there was something off, engine will work bad? i mean something like hard starting , or smoke going from the tailpipe??
i didnt say before but i have straight pipe... no muffler. i hope thats not the issue
