Hello,
First off I have a 1988 740 turbo (b230ft engine). So the car was running normally when I shut the car off today, then one hour later the car starts fine but any time I start to use any boost the car would fight me hard. So to get home I tried not to use any boost but just getting the car to where I could shift was very difficult. Does this sound like a seized up turbo? I always let the car idle for at least a minute before turning the engine off but she is old.
I checked all the hoses and lines for vaccume and turbo but I don't have any air leaks.
Can anyone tell me how I can check to see if the turbo is seized without taking it out? Or anyone that has experienced similar problems/experience.
Any help is appreciated,
Thank you,
Benton
