hi. ive been on vacation for a month. and when i started my car (89 spirit 2.5 t1) this morning and took it for a drive it seems my turbo does not work. i can hear it spinning but there is no boost in acceleration. i have checked everything and there is no leak in vacuum or air hoses. and its also stuttering at low rpm and its hard to get it to go past 4k rpm. does anyone know what the problem might be?
thnx the-dutchfather

Typically the wastegate actuator rod becomes disconnected from the turbo waste gate arm.

The tiny clip usually rusts off so the wastegste stays wide open.

Its a hard spot to see but that's the first thing I would check.

Thanks
Randy
