    In Reply to: 4 signs of bad turbos that I've personally witnessed...maybe it'll kill some paranoia, or make posted by Mr. Piggie(mike01s4) on 2002-04-24 06:50:07

    The car feels just a little slow (almost imperceptible -- like heatsoak) in the bulk of the RPM band, but very slow past 5500-6000rpm (where one good turbo cannot compensate for the other poor-/non-performing turbo) -- it may be hard to notice below 80mph because of the brief time you are over 5500rpm below 80mph. This sign can be exhibited on the stock ECU, and may last for a couple of weeks before you have a full failure.
