Hi People...
I have a question. My Dad has a 1991 480 1.7 Turbo-it is pretty much faultless, with the exception of the Turbo gauge. When he sticks his foot down, regardless of how warm the engine is, the needle never gets more than half way-it never reaches the red band at the top. Our 440 Turbo was not like this, you could take it to the red band with ease (and subsequently leave everything eating it`s dust!!). Does this mean the turbo is not operating at it`s full potential, or perhaps the gauge is faulty? Does anybody share a similar problem, or have experience with this? Any help appreciated.
Cheers, Dan
