Bad turbo?

My boost gauge is reading 4 to 5 when I'm stepping on it. Ran a test at shop and boost gauge is right . Suggestions on turbo for replacement as well as maybe a chip suggestion for this year. I really like the 6 stage chips but i seen only for the 94 and newer ?

The IDI motors covered in this Forum are not computerized ... Therefor no chips, no tuners ... They are all mechanical!

BTW, Welcome to FTE!

That's cool, no problem ...

Maybe you want to start your own thread so the fine folks here can help you learn about them, most here will gladly answer questions.

It's kinda frowned upon to hijack threads. (though we all do it at times )

-Enjoy
