No Turbo
liamBeing somewhat ignorant of the process, I have a question. Other than the obvious power loss, what long term affects could there be if the turbo isn't functional on a 745? If I were looking at one with the turbo out, should there be corresponding problems which could have attributed to the turbo ceasing to function? There's a 745 for sale nearby and I think I might go check it out. I want a 745. I need another 7, and it needs to be a 745. Oh, yes, it does. But, I also need to make my house payment... Ah, decisions, decisions... Cheers!!! ; ) Cheers! Liam - 84 733i <insert witticism of your choice> Edited by - liam on May 04 2002 22:47:48
scottieIt would be worth discovering if the turbo is not working because of a control problem (vacuum, wastegate, etc.) or if the turbo itself is dead. Could be expensive to fix if lots of things need replacing/rebuilding. Scottie Sharpe Sysop 84 745i 85 535i
