Dies on idle after I abused it 200 1983

(21ft)

Before the idle was a bit high, about 900rmp. Now it is barely around 500rmp and dies often and will not start back without opening the throtle.

I did kind of push it to its limits, did not mean to do it. The fuel pumps cut out while I was in second gear almost most in the red zone. The turbo warning light also came on.

I went through all the turbo hoses and vacuum hoses. Everthing is in tact. No leaks. The cis motor works fine. The throtle switch still clicks.

Whats next?

still can't get rid of the damn ants yet (found one in the air box)!
