ok dammit i finally got my 87 tII started but it ran like **** and after a while it cut off. i got fuel in it that has sat there for like atleast 6 months. would that have anything to do with it?? also the turbo got like red hot in like 2 min. i just had it idling revvin it up. the turbo was jumping up to about 28 lbs. the turbo turns freely and the teeth r ok. so what causes it to run hot. oil? do u think if i change the fuel filter that will help also?? im thinking about dropping the tank. it revved to about 5 or 6 then sparks started coming out the exhaust

 

28psi of boost???&nbsp How did you figure that?
Sounds like your catalytics are clogged...

uhh been sitting for 6 months....not good.... does it have coolant?

 

yes it had coolant and it the boost gauge was going pretty damn high. i do not have a cat on it, it is a racing beat turbo back. so now what?

 

Maybe something crawled up your tailpipe???

i dunno i have no idea. thats why im asking i thought one of u would know. if the turbo is malfunctioning would that cause the car to choke down?? today im going to put new gas, new ngk plugs in i hope that helps

 

Hmm, the turbo would get red hot if your running with a clogged cat...check the turbo for play? Is it getting adequate oil?

 

im not sure it im checking now. so the only way it would run red hot in like 2 min. is if it has no oil?? or clogged cat?? its not the cat cause i have a turbo back
