Has the turbo died? 700 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Darrell H on  Sat May 22 07:56 CST 2004 [RELATED]

My 84 760 seemed a little sluggish this morning but otherwise ran just fine. I noticed that the turbo indicator in the dash was no longer moving just staying in the same place as when the car is off. If the turbo has had it can I just drive it like this? I've spent a lot of money on this thing lately and I don't need a lot of power but if it's going to cause more damage I'd like to know.

Thanks for looking.

The hose to the gauge is probably broken; it comes from the intake manifold by way of a tee behind the instrument cluster.
The other leg of the tee goes to the overboost switch above the pedals.

A broken/disconnected hose would also account for the poor performance. Because it amounts to a leak: a vacuum leak when the engine is drawing a vacuum, and a pressure leak when the turbo is boosting.
