Got *Ca* t off 89 200 Turbo and drove car---

[brandon&trenna adams]

If you have blockage because of the turbo, then you also have blockage in
the exhaust because of it also. It should run, but not quick and not cool.
A turbo won't go out while in the shop unless he drives the hell out of it.
I think were looking at fuel or air intake but not turbo issues.
