Performance 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Paul Gonzalez on  Tue Dec 12 08:45 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I own an 86 740 Turbo w/intercooler. I am not getting that "kick in the seat of your pants" performance that you should get from a turbo. I have replaced the plugs with Bosch platinums, and keep the oil changed religiously. I would like to get some ideas from everyone as to what simple, and inexpensive ways to boost the performance. Also, I had to get the rear muffler cut off because it was bad, just haven't had the chance to replace it yet. Would the loss of a muffler decrease performance?

Thanks for any suggestions!
