'95 850 Turbo not building boost HELP! 850 95

posted by  someone claiming to be Michael Svard on  Thu Dec 21 05:32 CST 2000 [RELATED]

It was -5 degrees this morning. My power brakes wern't working at first. So I waited. Once on the road and with the engine at full temp I gave it some gas. The car failed to build any boost. The revs climbed and I accelerated very slowly.

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why my car isn't building boost. If anyone has had similar experience with this happening.

My inital thought was that a vacuum hose or an intercooler hose was loose. I looked breifly at the engine and saw nothing out of the ordinary.

I was able to move the wastegate so I don't think that was stuck.

Thanks, Michael
