Subject: Re: Turbo leakage on 86 900T


I tried the boost this morning with premium gas (tank nearly empty). I got about 25-28% into the yellow. Then I filled up with mid grade. Now the boost only seems to go about 20% up. The boost used to go about 2/3 - 3/4 (67-75%) into the yellow. The whooshing noise starts as soon as the guage touches the yellow. I am starting to wonder if there is not a second problem, like the knock sensor or a false knocking affecting the boost and the wooshing sound is not related to the low boost? The car immediately idles upon starting it, there is no "hunting" to indicate a vacuum leak. This makes me think the air is being released somewhere between the turbo and the throttle plate. Or maybe in the turbo itself? But the waste gate doesn't make that sort of noise, does it? Charles.
