Turbo Boost problems
Listers:
First, thanks to those who have assisted me with this problem over the past
few weeks. unfortunatly, I have not nailed down the solution yet. Here is a
synopsis if what I have been facing:
1. 86-5000TQ - 270k miles. Stock. Car bogs at 1 atmosphere and above. turbo
spools normally, reaching max boost at 26-27C rpm. Intercooler hose (Mich
Man) did have hole in it. Strangly, car performed well WITH the hole. Now
that it is fixed, I have the boost problem
2. Have already taken off waste gate top, movement is smooth. Waste gate
holds vacuum fine. Have not ventured into the wastegate/exhaust interface as
of yet
3. Have replaced round frequency valve going to waste gate. No change in
perfomance. | Am suspecting that the juice going to this device may be
shorting out.
How much current should I be getting through these wires and under what
conditions?
4. May have to go see Otto if I can't figure this one out - OUCH!!!
5. Any suggestions appreciated
