1986 740T - Turbo+ kit, Hwy noise, Trans conversion 740-760 1986

ICQ>

I own a 1986 740 Turbo wagon (160,000 km) that I have some questions about.

1. The car is fitted with a factory turbo+ accessory.

-What is it exactly and how does the turbo+ kit work?

-How can I determine if the turbo+ kit is working properly, short of taking

it to a shop?

2. The car is uncomfortably loud on the highway when the throttle is applied.

The noise (low pitch howl from the engine) is only apparent when the gas

peddle is applied (even a little bit), otherwise the car is quiet.

- What might this noise be and is it normal?

- Are there any noise suppression accessories available?

i.e. hood blankets, firewall insulation etc..

3. The car is fitted with an automatic transmission.

- How realistic a job is it to convert to a manual trans?

- What items (aside from the obvious) would be required?

Thanks
