Didn't blow the turbo yesterday AM!

Ha! Went out at lunch with tools and pulled the intake, turbo spins smoothly....hmmm...started up, still ran like crap. Pulled the boost retard, aha! It wasn't hooked up, or came off, reattached, restart, hmmm, still ran poorly.
Pulled the plugs and cleaned them, voila! The old 85 Beast runs again.
Oh, and yes, the burnt stuff in the tranny tube was the remains of the dipstick, musta been plastic, gotta find a new one.
I'm a happy camper! Ross
Thanks for the insight guys! I'm of the opinion that without the boost retard- way too much timing was there, big boost, then the knock sensor was taking out all the timing it could (don't know how much that is).
Is that basically correct? Sheesh, the turbo felt like a supercharger, boost IMMEDIATELY.
