[QUOTE="OCD, post: 742938, member: 48808"] Greetings all. I've searched the forums on this topic and got some info which led me to perform further diagnosis to narrow down the source of the problem. However, would like to seek more clarification from all the sifus here on your experiences and any other alternatives. My ride is currently experiencing the dreaded wastegate rattle and pushing out 30FF DME error code: Turbocharger, boost pressure too low I've consulted a few workshops including K&S and Obermaier and they told me my options are below: 1. change to new turbos (RM8K+) 2. refurbish the wastegate/turbo (RM800 for dismantling/installation of wastegates, price for refurbishment is around RM1K+ per turbo) 3. check/replace all vacuum hoses first in case there are leaks (below RM1K) However, the workshops mentioned that the option of refurbishing the wastegate brings varying results and doesn't guarantee to solve the issue, based on a few cases that they've done. And if I go for Option 1 the problem could occur again due to bad design on BMW's part. Which leads me to my next question: Are there any aftermarket options that address this issue permanently and have you guys tried it before? Appreciate your inputs and many thanks in advance!
