I just picked up an 84 244 turbo. I bought it for a daily driver so i can spend more time with my project car off the road. Since i got it the car as been slow (bout a week ago)and i don't mean not fast slow i mean scary to pull out on the highway cause it's gonna take a while b4 i even get it up to 60mph. The boost gauge barely goes into the yellow. I don't know much about turbos but i've gone through what i feel to be obvious things. I checked all the intercooler and turbo hoses for holes. I've taken the turbo hoses off and spun the turbo with no side to side movement to worry about so that rules out it being seized. I've pulled the test plug out of the manifold thinking maybe the cat was clogged and that would help a little bit but aside from getting pressue quicker it didn't make anymore pressure. I've gone through all the vacuume hoses some are a little mushy and should be replaced but i want to fix the big problem first. The wasegate on the turbo moves by hand. (how can i tell if it's closing all the way) I've also pluged the hose comming off the wastgate and no extra pressure. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I'm at a stand still. Sorry about the book but i didn't want to leave anything out. Well thanks in advance
