        I am experiencing an overboost condition on two of my cars (1987
5KTQ and 1986 5KT autom.). I've checked all hoses and wires for condition
and proper connections. I opened waste-gates and diaphrams appeared fine. I
get no codes that indicate a problem and "check engine" light does not go on
during over-boost. Computer shuts down at 1.6 BAR (indicated). Power
increase feels great until it violently shuts down...making drivability
difficult and increasing stress on drivetrain. Any ideas from anyone? Need help!
Thanks
Constantine
