I am still tweaking this thing-
a little history, I bought it new in the fall of '87 (88 daytona shelby z, 2.2 intercooled turbo) and it is mostly stock, has a new turbo and wastegate, after it sat in the garage for 4 years with a turbo that had an internal oil leak so it smoked so bad I had to park it-
It pulls pretty hard and smooth, boosts to 12-13 lbs, good gas mileage, does not run hot at all-now my WIFE, who rode in it tonight, commented about how it felt 'rough' while coasting-I was in 4th, around 2300 RP. level ground, no load-and it almost feels like it 'skips'. But even with light throttle, it is smooth and even. It boosts easily, and pulls hard-what could it be ? (I hate telling her she is correct, I didn't really notice it but now that she said it..I said I was kind of 'lugging' it, but at 23-2400 no load, that is NOT the case here, I think)-I have timing set at 12 BTDC, idles at 900 rpm-no vacuum leaks (except for the boost controller, is ther a way to solve that? Ideas? thanks
