Have a 8090 that works great but if you take it over 70% engine load the engine RPM's just drop off and you get the "low engine rpm" alarm. Then it takes a while for the unit to recover. Get no codes when it happens. Unit is currently deleted and has a 50hp tune in it. We have replaced all the fuel filters, checked fuel flow from the tank, check pressure at engine lift pump, checked air filter cannister and replaced air filters. Checked all intake piping to intercooler for a blown hose/broken coupler.
When running the turbo will only get to about 24psi boost before it powers down and drops rpm. I know it has a smaller engine than our 9090's, but running in similar conditions ant similar engine loads they are in the 32-40psi range. Gonna pull intake pipe at turbo next to check inlet vanes for damage.
Dealer also suggested checking the check valve by the fuel pump to see if it holds 100psi for the rail pressure, as they are running out of ideas also. Fought this issue all harvest and now we are done but still trying to figure out where the issue could be for next year.
Any one else have similar issues with this engine and possible fixes?

Seems low on boost to me. The wastegate isn’t stuck part open or gone bad and won’t hold it closed to build boost?

Thats something I was going to check when I look at the turbo vanes but forgot to mention. Dealer hadn't though that would be the issue initially, but they agreed all along that the boost was low. On this engine it is mechanical so would not give a code if stuck, or had a broken spring. Getting bad when they can't diagnose things unless a code comes up.

Should be able to check it with air pressure and a regulator on the small hose going to the valve. Dealer should be able to find the boost spec for you.

Did you get it figured out? I would have suggested checking your piping intake on your turbo but sounds like you have already inspected that. Our CR9070 had similar symptoms last season and it was a loose clamp had allowed the rubber sleeve that connects that solid piping to creep back until there was air escaping.

I haven't looked at it again as we finished harvesting and we just left it to get fall field work completed. Plan on bringing it in the shop for winter maintenance in a couple weeks. Hopefully we find something then.
