Any ideas what the wastegate/turbo problem might be attributed to?
Thanks I'm looking at a 90 GSX...he said: QUOTE ticks at first startup when it got really cold overnight. the turbo
works fine, but I had to wire the wastegate wide open to be able to drive it because it stutters when it starts to build boost. leaks oil, but until thursday when I bought a van to drive to work I drove it every day and it always started and ran. // carlos -------------------- #

Stuttering on boost usually occurs due to (somewhat in order of commoness):
1) A leak in the intake plumbing somewhere after the turbo and before the throttle body. 2) Bad plugs/wires 3) Ooooooooold fuel filter 4) Bad fuel pump 5) Bad coil pack/module 6) Bad ECU 7) Severely blown head gasket -------------------- Eric Wort
