I got the car at s really good price, and with only 50k original miles. I won't bore anyone, just get right to the point. Starts up, runs, and idles just fine. As for acceleration, as soon as it gets into full boost, it pings, sometimes pops, and cuts out, and occasionally dies. It has a new Bosch pump, regulator, (non adjustable), and filter. And a new fuel tank. It has a digital dash, with the idiot lights, no check engine light on, and a stupid two bar, yellow and orange, for the turbo power. I'm curious as to where I need start looking first, what mandatory gages I need, besides a boost gauge, knock, and temp guage. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated! And again, I'm happy to finally be a part of the crowd!
