Not making full power
Did a conditional on a Bristell with a 915. A few flights later, WOT wouldn't go above 4600 RPM.
Connected BUDS and downloaded the logs, sent to Motive for review, nothing peculiar to report back.
Found a hole in the fresh air scat tube to the turbo, replaced with new.
Did another runup, still 4600 RPM.
Rechecked scat tube connections - all good.
Checked throttle - no binding and has full throw
Checked all air connections to turbo and throttle body - no defects and hose clamps tight
Borescoped exhaust - no blockage
Checked fuel filter - clean and no blockage
Fuel flow and pressure - reported normal by owner
Wastegate - moves freely
Checked low pressure hoses to wastegate actuator & pop off valve - no defects
Checked turbo vanes - no defects and turns freely with no resistance or noise
Propeller - fixed pitch and blades tight
Air filter - no obstructions
Exhaust/turbo mating- all four bolts torqued to 216 in lbs (25 Nm) although there is evidence of a very small exhaust leak on the top
Both the wastegate actuator and pop off valve low pressure lines connect to pneumatic solenoids that I have not found how to test yet. They are three Kuhnke SP764.0546.
What am I missing? Any suggestions on what else to look at?
