    Test your turbo boost response. Small leak will affect power and mpg even when its not detected on diagnostics. Pay close attention on turbo cooler right in the lower middle section where its open to road debries. The old soap spray method works best but you need a second person to pump and release the gas pedal repeatedly

    I will try to check boost systems for leaks and check for any codes. Last time i looked there weren't any fault or egr codes.

    they are always black because they add it after they paint it so the boost sensor could well be faulty

    So are you saying that if this pump not working from the switch in your cabin I might have power issue?

    Ugh, I have the same question and he never came back to say what happened:( I'm curious if that electric pump could be causing the issue...
