Thanks guys. I did move the car out of the garage already and I'll get that checked another time...the problem is the car doesn't feel like it's getting the 6.5 to 7.5LBS boost it should be. My dad's former 90 745T felt more powerful. The other 760Ts and one 745TI looked at felt more powerful as well. Could 250345 miles have anything to do with that? I recall that 745T having around 85000 when he sold it. The 745T I looked at/ test drove had 195000 and the 89 765T had 177000 and was a bit too expensive. The 88 764T had an overboost problem, and 263000 on it. That one had too many problems, walked away. The 745T was too expensive. The 90 764T was priced right, ran good with no problems, tranny shifted smoother than any of the others I looked at. Plus, it was our 7 year trusted mechanic's "wifemobile"...and he did all the work on it, so we would have no doubts about the car's history. Ended up with that one.
Basically my question is what the culprit could be. There is NO excessive noise from the turbo, NO smoke coming from the exhaust, NO weird smells, etc. The turbo is very quiet and responsive, just doesn't seem to give enough boost. Maybe 4 or 5PSI at best. Could this be just an improper wastegate setting or something wrong with the actuator hose?
