96 Eagle Talon performance question

Nov 13, 2003 5 Replies

I have a 1996 eagle talon awd turbo. I have a boost guage, fuel air guage both autometer. Anyway it is all stock and has had the timing belt changed at 60k etc. My problem is, when I accelerate I can watch the boost guage go to about 12, then the fuel/air goes to green (which seems normal). The symptom is it make this strange noise (bogging sort of), the sound is like Bbbaaawwww (not exhaust leak) and the car does not seem to kick like it used to. I can say it has 90k miles and has never been abused, oil changed, never over heated etc.



Can anyone give me a direction as far as troubleshooting this. It definitely does not have the kick it used to have.



Thx, Larry


Sounds like a boost leak in your intake system from turbo to throttle body. Do an intake leak test.

sells a kit and you'll need a small compressor.

Probably a coupling somewhere that came loose. Thats the sounds you get. Good luck and post back what you find.
