Hi guys,

I just changed the exhaust manifold gaskets on my '84 760 Turbo. I was careful to make sure that everything was put back on the car the right way. The engine is much quieter now with the new gaskets, but when I drove the car today the turbo wouldn't boost up. On the guage, the needle would go right to the yellow section, but not into it. A few minutes later, the turbo started working again like it normally did. The no boost problem has not happened again and I have been driving the car all morning. My thought is that the problem could be the wastegate sticking. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave
