I know this has been talked about and I did the search. It came up with one thread that doesn't answer what I'd like to know.
On the black 87TC, I took it for a drive today and I got back, popped the hood and noticed the exhaust manifold was glowing red.
I was driving it down the road, nothing crazy. It wont do anything crazy. I put on a new turbo and everything is put on right.
It's actually doing what it was doing with the old turbo.
I can be setting at idle and rev it and it get's into boost according to the factory gauge. I can hear it spooling up and the gauge shows about 5 PSI. I know that it's not suppose to get into boost while not under load (at idle).
The car seems like it doesn't have much power. It kinda drives like it's a regular car, but when you try to get into boost, it get's to the 5 PSI, but it doesn't get any higher and there is no "in the pant's feel".
Will the cat cause the manifold to glow red?
If not or so, what are the other things that will?
I'm thinking about trading it for a '90 SC and I'd like to get it running right first.
Thanks
