My 1996 855R has been giving eratic boost lately, a shop i took it to disconected the waste gate and said it won't hurt the motor. The boost is great and the car is back like it should be but i'm very nervous watching the boost gauge go past the entire white area! Am I headed for a blown engine? seals? gaskets? or just a lot of fun? The car just turned 100,000 miles and everything else is in great shape. The performance was lacking but I don't want to sacrafice the engine at this point.
