94.5 turbo

I am pretty good at the "do it yourself" thing. But I have a power loss thing that I can't quite figure out. What I've noticed is my turbo spooling at 2800 rpm normal or not? do i need to rebuild my turbo? replace it? something else? thanks for your help.

could be other things like exhaust leaks causing your issue.

your turbo should start to light around 18-2100 rpm, pull off the intake and look at the health of the wheel, should be nice and sharp edges, not rounded off looking like it got sand blasted

Yes, the compressor wheel. Take the intake tube off right at the turbo and check the wheel right inside there.
