Okay so im now a new proud owner of an 88 10th ann, it seems to run alright when sitting still but when driving it feels bogged out, it drove fine when the previous owner bought it, but it had a straight pipe. He added a cat and im assuming its not a high temp and possibly burnt up and clogged itself, he drove it for 9 months before it started acting up. He never was hard on it, he never so much as did a burn out. It starts up easy. Also the boost gauge is unhooked, i cant for the life of me find a diagram or picture of how or where it hooks up. Also correct please if im wrong, this is my first turbo, i swear i read somewhere that it wont run right if the gauge is unhooked.Ask any and all questions that would help to narrow down on the problem. No i have not drove it long or far enough to see if it overheats but i was told it did not. I can post pics so just let me know what to take pics of and ill do my best to get them up.
