Subject: turbo boost unstable question...


hi group, i'm having some trouble with my 88' 900t 16v. i bought it just a few month ago, and from the beginning on, the turbo needle would never even get close to the red...2/3 aprox. at best. i also had the feeling the car would be missing some bite, when accelerating hard... so i thought some base boost adjustment should do the job, but somehow the result of this is poor: sometimes, only when car is _really_ warmed up the needle hits the red or goes even into it, but it seems to depend on how i hit the gas, and at what speed. all in all the boost seems very unstable, and i also experienced strange changes in gas mileage, which seem to have no relation to speed or way of driving... now i'm afraid the turbo is simply passing away... (the car now has 244k km, which is about 153k miles.) am i right, or could it be something else...?! ThanX ben
