Check hoses before BPC purchase

On my 98, I got into a period in which only orange was ever available on the boost gauge--and the car was sluggish, compared to previously.
Finally, my indy saw that a small hose had come off the turbo. He pushed it back in place, and the POWER was back.
Another thought is that the gearing on the 98 is tall, especially compared to the 91 I owned previously and ditto my wife's 9-5's (although they have been automatics.) Once on the highway or a really good high-speed back road, you will find that your 98 is extremely responsive to throttle input at speeds above 70 or so. This vehicle will really haul!
Good luck with it--I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine.
