Subject: Turbo Problems - 87 9000T


I'm experiencing problems with the Turbo on my 87 9000 Currently - the turbine spins fine but if you go past about 1.4 pedal it overevs the engine, the boost goes into the red, and acceleration lags. This happens at all speeds and is getting worse. I know virtually nothing about the mechanics of this car, but it's almost as if there were a "gate" or turbo restrictor that has failed. Is there a way to test this myself? FYI - there is an oil line that runs in to the top of the turbo and it seems to be leaking a bit of oil around where it "seats." Related or not? Please respond directly by e-mail if possible to either of the 2 address below: rmccloudnopsamlepc.com ross.mccloudnopsama-air.com Thanks Ross
