Im experiencing a random power loss in my Turbo, whats up?
This appears to be a common problem, especially on the 89 Turbos. The normal boost is 1.2 bar. If everything is operational, it will go to slightly above 1.8 bar. The most common problem is a bad connection due to corrosion on the throttle position switch (located on the throttle body, forward of the intake manifold). On one side is a cable that controls the throttle opening, and the other side is a black plastic device that reads the throttle position. The connection to this device can become corroded. Typically moving around the connector a bit will fix the problem temporarily. Disassembling the connector, cleaning and putting on a coat of dielectric grease on it will fix it semi-permanently.
