turbo II problem

i have a 87 turbo ii and it does not run right.
seems that it das have misfire problem.i checked compression and its still good(100psi per puff-3 puffs per revolution) changed plugs and wires but when i take off plug wire of trailing coil it seems to make no difference. turbo das not work either(no boost).
it revs up very slow so i tought that i might have cats pluged. dont know what to do next. anyone with any kind of tought what should i do next would be very helpfull. thank you

Pulling spark plugs is not going to affect anything.

Is it low on power or is it hesitation?
Change spark plugs...
Change spark plug wires...
Change the fuel filter...
Run some fuel injector cleaner (Redline recommended)...
Adjust your TPS...

You need to do an emissions test soon?&nbsp Just punch out your old cat of all the clogged crap.

If this your main one or the pre-cat?&nbsp You need to really check the pre-cat, as this is usually the culprit that fails and kills your main cat!
