Weak mixture? Can be caused by a number of things (eg. less fuel going in or more air going in than it should, eg. leaking inlet manifold).
I think your car may have a distributor with a manual advance (centrifugal weights ... if I can spell them). If it does not advance then weak mixture again. Can be a damaged air pipe to the distributor.
Does a US 1987 model have electronic ignition or is it a manual distributor with points? (what is the American term for points now? the platinum contact things inside the distributor).
Having said all that, back pressure should not be high when the car is starting to move, should be much worse when running at full speed. It can off course be the opposite as well, too low prssure. Supposingly an engine is tuned to work best with the manufacturers original exhaust syustem. I cannot at the moment screw my head back on and work out how a turbo car could be affected by a replacement exhaust.
