I have a '88 760 sedan, just rolled 200,000. When i drive the car and dont let the turbo kick in, all is fine, but once i let the turbo start to spool up, immidiate loss of power. if i back off and let the turbo slow, car goes right back to normal. I lowered the boost to around 4psi and no change. I have been running the car at around 12psi for about a year with no problems (adjusted with the wastegate). Any advice? Hopefully solutions?
