Help

I posted this in the turbo section but not much attention there I guess.

Being new to turbos, I need help here. Ok, I picked up my car in NH last night. Trailer it back. Got it home here in VA Beach and decied to take it for a drive, of course. The factory boost gauge went 2 bars into the red and the car stuttered a few times. I did not know what this was so I did it again and had the same thing happen. What is the deal with it?

After all these years the stock gauge is not accurate or reliable. A good boost, or vac/boost gauge is needed.

However, if the car is over boosting, it will miss. Take a look at the vacumme hoses that go from the sensor on the passenger valve cover to the wastegate under the turbo and to the turbo outlet. Three hoses with a "Y" fitting. If something poped off there it will way over boost.

Of course somebody may have put an adjustible waste gate on the car and just cranked it way up.
