Just purchased an 89 TTA .I'm pretty familiar with turbo Buicks.Do you think that I should pull the turbo and do a complete inspection of compressor and turbine if my boost never gets over 11 psi? The intercooler seems OK, am replacing hoses though my intercooler pressure test was done with the originals and showed no leakage. Cleaned and painted it anyway, going back with Kirban's HD kit. This is not an issue with the actuator or solenoid, nor an exhaust obstruction. Could the intercooler be obstructed? Have I missed anything? The motor seems to be in tiptop shape for it's age. Your thoughts on this will be appreciated. Oh, by the way, I have had the exhaust bell off, and have inspected the compressor through the inlet bell, can't see a problem. Thanks!
