1985 900T, at w/190k
I am finally looking at the APC/turbo now after months of going through the car. Sat for 2+ years, etc.......
Car runs as well as can be expected for its age and unknown maintenance history.
Well, the turbo has only been putting out 2-3lbs boost. So, I took the c-port hose off the APC solenoid. Short test run produced, 8-11psi. What I did notice was the noise. I'm no turbine expert but it was humming. Didn't really sound metallic(sp). What does the high speed whiz sound suggest? I'm sure the turbine is tired, I just want the next owner to enjoy the car for at least another 50k before the major heart/lung transplant is needed.
I will take off the IC hoses to check for play and interference. Otherwise I get to troubleshoot the APC. Got Justins 'cheesy fac', thanks Justin.
