Boost leak check... '89 200TQ
Found one massive leak, replaced Michelin man hose and still runs like ***... no boost at all...well 0.6 or so. I'll be checking additional leaks this weekend.
Question is this: at what point, in this system, do leaks become important.
I checked for boost leaks last time from the outlet pipe of igloo. My igloo looks like it has shoe-goo on it from P.O.
I don't even run it like this. For one reason 'cuz it can barely get out of it's own way...for another, doesn't the ECU trys to accomodate for boost problems by dumping more fuel, (washing out rings in top end). I'm just trying to minimize the damage.
Oh well, get to drive my '81 VW pickup...it'll smoke the 200TQ
Any assistance appreciated.

Replace the igloo
Readily available from any Worldpac or IMC reseller. Scott Mockry at sjmautotechnik for
example.
IME, all intake tract leaks are important on the MC1 engine.
