I was gonna suggest checking for critter-damage if it was parked somewhere with exterior access... During the last cold spell last week, a rat or squirrel climbed up through the main sewer line and got stuck some 5 feet beneath my shower/toilet drain, I could hear it struggling to get free but it was far enough that I couldn't see it... it was stuck there for 4 days before it finally freed itself and went back out the sewer... either way hope you get it figured out

Yeah, I was going to suggest the same thing. Perhaps something got to hoses or the intake, etc...have you checked the intake filter?

No, nothing yet. They gave it a good once-over on Saturday, looking for something obvious like hoses or lines or whatever... Nothing found.

I believe they'll be putting it on the dyno today to start their deep dive.

Off the top, Adam and Bill didn't think it was the turbo, but possibly the "boost control solenoid", whatever that is.

I personally am thinking less and less like it's the turbo, since things seems to operate fine at times. I figure if the turbo is dying, it wouldn't be work properly... well... ever. (?)

Who knows though. We'll see.
