Its official: I beat on my 900T: 10mpg Posted by ZAAB [Email] (#685) [Profile/Gallery] (more from ZAAB) on Mon, 13 Jun 2011 13:52:21 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Ever taken a sunday 5AM cruise...like the 90+mph Grin-and-boost-filled 100mile ripper kind?
Thats right...10mpg. I'm going for 7. (was out to put away into storage (mama's barn) my 93 900T project car before baby # 2 is delivered within a week or so).
Problem is, that on the way home at 830AM, I think I broke my turbo. I've checked all turbo hoses, and they are ugly but look sound. OR my wastegate is stuck open. I hear this woosh noise when I step on the gas, no boost (gauge only to the mid-point, not even yellow), and I could barely maintain 50 on a state highway. Turbo spins freely and smoothly when I took off my intake.
Going to check the wastegate tonight for stuck-ness. Other ideas? What's the symptoms of clogged catalytic converter? Mine is a box of rocks rattling around currently.
OK, my question: has anyone found a replacement for the Turbo hose-to-intercooler transition pipe??? its 5+1/2 inches long...2-to-2.5inch transition is easy to find, but all are 3 inches long.
Sorry for the long post with little actual vanue.
