Due to a rather old engine I never really got over 4 lbs in my 88 shelby z. All of a sudden one day it doubles...why would this happen? Is something really wrong? or is something really right?

is it a TI or TII?
T2 sorry forgot to mention that....
I wouldn't call that overboost. There a tons of reasons, vacuum lines, wastegaste issues, computer issues, exhaust plugging up/fell off.

Exhaust has no cat...muffler fell off sometime ago and was replaced with a oval style muffler...
I need to keep this car on the road...I'm from MI (aka poor) and this is my only car, its main use is to take me to school and take my dad to dialysis...keeping this money pit running is my main priority
stock on a TII is 12 psi
I did a comp test and got 100 80 80 80 in that order...is it possible my rings shifted to allow more compression? Until now I never got my car over 5 lbs...
sounds like worn rings,thats really low numbers
why would the boost double all of a sudden?
what did you hit,from what you said you usually hit 4 and it doubled right?stock boost is 12 psi if you only hit 8 your not overboosting
Again, see what I wrote.
If your that concerned about running 8 psi, then hook the wastegate can straight to manifold vacuum, that will limit you to around 4-5 psi.

since we're on the subject...anybody know where I can find a t2 motor to rebuild? whats the differance with a cb and a non cb? this is my first turbo car and I'm tryin to learn all I can
CB is more beefier.it is used when goin over 250 HP,other than that and a fuel block off plate nothing.check the parts for sale area for a TII motor or rebuild the bottom end
so I have a cb?
Nope, common block started in 89. Easy way to ID in either direction is that older non common blocks have a fuel pump blockoff plate (next to the water pump) where on all common blocks it looks like an undrilled boss with no holes and no plate.
Dont push the red button.You hear me?
Surf thru our Knowledge center and www.thedodgegarage.com, turbo database section. Read a few times.
