Vanquished Posted August 27, 2022 Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 (edited) Hey everyone, I just went on a short drive with my Edge and I happened to be on the turbo PSI page (never am) and I noticed it didn't move at all, I didn't really accelerate quickly but when I got back to the garage I revved it and it still went nowhere (needle didn't move) . Is this normal? Would my car even drive if my turbos weren't working? Car is a 2020 Edge ST with 5500 miles on it. Thanks.

Vanquished Posted August 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2022 Nevermind... just went out and accelerated hard. So the turbo doesn't kick in unless you really press it, eh? Also good to know (though not surprising) it doesn't kick in when parked or in neutral. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turbo mostly only really spins up when the engine is doing work, not just revving. Get into 3rd or 4th gear on a long on ramp and roll into the throttle hard enough to accelerate but not downshift, and as the revs rise and the likelihood of downshift decreases, continue rolling into it. This is where you will normally see peak boost, usually about 18psi unless you are tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
