On the LPT (Light Pressure Turbo), the turbo doesn't kick in. It's on all the time. It works similar to variable power steering. There's less boost at low speeds, more when you need it. But it's always there. My 1995 9000CS LPT has the smoothest power curve I've experienced on a car. Give it more gas and it simply goes faster very fast. I tested a 1997 9000 with regular turbo when I bought the 1995. The feel between the two is very different. That turbo you can feel kicking in. Unfortunately, I can't tell you how to fix yours -- but I'm sure someone else can. lauraknospamousergraphics.com http://www.madmousergraphics.com web design, print design, photography
