Greetings,

My initial problem of poor turbo performance and lousy gas mileage was solved by finding a large hole in the intercooler connector on the intake side. I took the opportunity to remove all intercooler hoses, vacuum lines and flame trap hose to clean and check them - all OK.

Whlie driving today, the car suddenly started idling very rough and stalled. I had a hard time starting and the idle was rough. Luckily, I was close to home when the idle became rough and was able to make it into the garage.

I'm going out to attempt to locate my problem. I'm leaning toward a vacuum leak, but I'm sure there are many possibilities. Any pointers?? Your assistance is much appreciated.
