Noticed a lack of power the last couple times driving (particularly uphill) & no turbo sound. I was prepared to remove the turbo, thinking that was the culprit. Checked the blades - no wiggle, free spinning, no nicks... seemed okay, with a bit of oil inside. Found the accelerator cable had become loose (probably when I recently removed the throttle/pedal mount, but the cable adjustment doesn't snap in secure & will likely loosen again), so I ordered a new cable assembly. Pics show the oil in the turbo, hose & filter housing - Is this normal?
Also, pics of the loose accelerator cable before & after adjustment. It ran like a champ & I could hear the turbo whine again when powering uphills.
