ok check it out. I was at the bar last night watching the Pistons lose(damn it) anyways i met this girl that wanted to go to a different bar so of course i said yes. To my surprise we walk outside and she has a silver 99 spyder sitting there with the top down so immediately i fell in love with her. She only has 75,000 on it and she said that it feels like the turbo is bogging down and she just had a tune up. It would look nice for me if some one could help me find out what is wrong with it. I am not really that familiar with Turbo so any opinions would help. She doesnt beat on it or drive it rough at all so it is probably something simple. thanks

HAHA IS TRUBO A WORD? DAMN IT

Oh damn... hopefuly you can get some when all of this is over.

I would start with the obvious...CEL, plugs, wires, MAS plugged in, BOV recirculated...etc

-K-

I've been told to stay away from Trubos and Turvos.

yah if she said she just had a tune up, the first thing I would check is the plug wires. Pull the wires off and put them back on to make sure she is getting a good connection. But the bogging might be from plug wire that has gone bad. That will bog a car really bad.

I bet it isn't even turbo related. My guess is one of the plug wires has gone bad!
