My new-to-me 1994 Turbo convertible spent the day (literally) with my favorite Saab mechanic yesterday. He really knows his stuff. He went through every possibility and it's still only boosting halfway into the yellow. If we unplug the wastegate line from the APC solenoid valve it DOES get to the middle of the red but it takes FOREVERRRR.
I'm wondering if my catalytic converter is shot. He said by putting his hand in front of the tailpipe the pulses were kind of weak and the exhaust felt a little extra warm to him. I have to take it in for CT emissions either today or tomorrow so I guess we'll find out if I fail.
