HI Curly, Sorry to hear you are having more problems with "my" 300D.  I don't recall any turbo problems, but it sat for about a year while I figured out what to do with it.  The only way I ever checked to confirm things were as they should be was to warm it up then do a 0-60 test looking for a

Checked over the vacuum system.   did not find any problems.   Blew out the manifold fitting and line to overboost cutout.   It is a little better, but not where it should be.   I don't have a vacuum gauge here to check actual vacuum. When driving you can tell is is getting some boost, but not

Curley asks: >What other things should I check? OVP relay? If the black box (EDS) has an analog/digital fit, you have no boost. I recall mentioning this on Dimitri's alternator thread. Two solutions, fix the EDS (troubleshooting required) or GXRS aka Spudboy aka Dave Meiman's wastegate fix.

Got it aligned today.   Will pick it up in the morning, and it goes immediately into service.   Running out to the alignment place, it did not appear that the turbo was working, or at least it was lazy.  I will blow out the line to the intake manifold. What other things should I check?   OVP r
