Default turbo problems?!

I have a 95 850 turbo. Used to pull real hard and fast. Lately i have noticed it not really pulling the way it should. There is no smoke coming out of the tail pipe. I just dont feel the power like i used to. Turbo going bad? maybe? I dont know. Give me some input please. Thanks Danny also the boost gauge goes barely past the middle. It used to go 3/4 of the way up.

Check all, and I mean ALL, of your vacuum lines. Do you have any codes from A-2?

I have replaced a few vacuum lines but all are in pretty bad shape. I am going to order the complete vacuum line kit from ipd. I am really fortunate to live ten min away from ipd here in portland, OR. I could only imagine living where you would have to ship everything. Also the guys at IPD are so helpfull. They are always willing to talk to you about your car and even take a quick peak at it. I love them. At a dealer they wont even take a look without filling out all the paperwork so they can charge you. IPD rocks.

Get Silicone lines, don't go back to plain rubber lines.

Also check your turbo hoses and I would recommend upgrading those to silicone as well.

StylinMotors Inc. or SAMCO for the turbo hoses even the vacuum lines.
