MP, I just remembered your car on Craigslist from last summer. Another person had looked at the car and posted an add warning of fraud. He took the same ad line in the heading and said that the mileage was over 175K, not 88K. That posting is no longer there of course.

As to your turbo not boosting, I suspect that it might be the result of a loose connection in the intercooler piping, the large black pipe that goes from the turbo to the radiator and back to the throttle. Check all of the clamps and make sure they are tight. Also try to check that the flexible pipe that clamps onto the throttle body has no air leaks, it tends to crack in the accordian section and leaks are hard to spot.

The ABS error code. If it was 4-4-4, check the electrical plug to the ABS pump hydraulic unit, just under the master cylinder. If that is the problem, the ABS light will stay off when you exceed 18mph.
