Hey guys, I need some help if you can...
I took a turbo from am 85 GN and installed it on my 87 FWD Riviera. I got everything mounted, wired, and plumed okay. But when I drove it for the first time last night, it didn't run right. I could tell the turbo was building boost, but only a couple pounds. I don't think the wastegate selenoid is working right because of my computer. I am going to try switching to a stock GN computer and chip tonight. And also try installing a bleeder valve instead of the wastegate seleniod. When I was driving my car, it would make a funny noise, that kinda sounded like it was poping back through the throttle body. I was thinking that the selenoid wasn't working right and making boost all the time. But I am not sure though.
Are there any other ideas that you guys can come up with that may be affecting things. I am not up to date on everything about GNs and turbo, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
