lately, everytime i attempt to start the car it would turn on but act like its about to die, lights from my boost gauge, oil pressure gauge, and cluster would be on but very dim. everytime i would rev it they would become brighter!? this only happens every once and a while.

what could it be?

-bad ground?
-bad battery?
-dirty battery terminals?
-main relay?
-bad alternator?
-bad starter?

im not home right now so cant really check just seeing what you guys think it is

 

I had something like that happen to me a day before my battery die.

i do not think it would be the starter but you other choices above are worth checking

 

check the battery voltage with a multimeter, when your car is on, the voltmeter should read 14 volts

 

 

battery is good

 

alternator.

how close is your wastegate to it? the heat from that has cause many to go bad.

yeah i second this motion, the ELD and alternator talk to each other to control how much output the alt has, excesive heat from your turbo mani or wastegate can do this.

 

never through/heard of that, but i dont see it being a problem b/c of of the mani and wg arent to close to the alt.
