    Hey all I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on my question. I have a 1986 900T with 207K When i use second gear and STEP ON IT, my boost is great until about 4500 rpms. For some reason, my turbo gets a little funky and sounds like it needs more air of fuel or something additional...
