[Mk2] [Turbo] total loss of power - but only sometimes?

Post by krozor »

Hi all

New to the forum so please be gently

Just picked up a lovely black 1992 Rev 2 Turbo with 70,000k

My only issue is that somtimes it will completely loose power, almost like driving a 1.2L corsa, but other times it drives fine/fast???? it dosn't smoke at all on idle or full boost, boost gauge works fine. Has'nt overheated as no warning lights have appeared plus its just been serviced with new plugs/leads/oil change etc..makes no noise at idle and is very smooth on gears and clutch?

Any idea guys?

1. What fuel are you running it on?
2. Are you running an aftermarket BOV? or stock
