While cruising along at 2000 RPM the Port engine (SP 225 Turbocharged)
suddenly lost power and dropped significant RPM. Idled the engines down
and did a visual and all looked OK, no visible fluid leaks, no excessive
smoke, idled fine, all fluid levels OK, temp and oil pressure OK.
Further attempts to get under way resulted in an extremely sluggish port
engine with very low power that ran fine otherwise. I suspect something
happened to the Turbo. Has anyone experienced this? What is the failure
mode of the Turbos and how would one check them out? Are there
controllers for them or any valves or waste gates that can fail? Any
other ideas? Appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
