<< I just bought a 1986 5000cs turbo with a 3sp auto. It has 104,000 miles on
 it. What is the maximum turbo boost pressure under full acceleration? From
 standstill, I could, at best achieve 1.3 bar under 4000rpm. Also, I know
 that there is a spearate oil filter for the turbocharger. Could someone tell
 me where it is located because I have been unable to find it. Thanks for any
 help.

1.3 bar is a little low, you can shim up the weak WG spring with a washer if
you want 1.4....  But 1.3 is within spec....  The oil filter from dual to
single was a changeover in 1985 with the addition of the water cooled bearing
housing (= no need for the second filter), very early 86 turbos still had the
WC and dual filters but very rare....  THE hot ticket is to put WC on the
dual filter turbo cars....  Overkill, if you can't see the second filter,
chances are you don't have it...
