Help! Got no boost
My car is no longer producing any boost.
It is a stock 87 T2 with gutted pre-cat and 3' cat.
I seem to have had boost/power problems for the entire time that I have owned the car.
The car always use to stutter in the top end and would barely make redline, it doesnt want to rev past 6000. During this, boost would always come on and stay pretty constant.
In recent weeks, boost has dropped off to half what it used to be.
Now, I am not getting any boost, the car still doesn't rev out to redline... but it doesn't stutter anymore.
Does anyone have any ideas on what is wrong with my car? I desperately want it to run properly.
Thanks in advance
Daniel
BTW The car has only 141,000km (87,000 miles) and had good compression last time it was checked.
