I agree with Grunf, an easy thing to check before you undo any plumbing is the wastegate linkage. The circlip and J pin often rust out and the wastegate becomes detached from the actuator rod. Check this when the engine is cold because it gets very HOT in this area! It's directly below the exhaust manifold, clearly visible when looking up from underneath the car. > To find out, pull off the inlet hose on the turbo, reach in > there, and feel for the impeller.

Where does it sit under moderate acceleration? I think from Andrew's description that this is an LPT so he doesn't have a boost gauge :-( I sure test of the turbo is to find someone driving an early '90s Nissan Micra, ask the driver for a race - if you can't keep up then the turbo is not blowing ;-) AndyH '94 9000 CDE > -- > Grunff >
