If it's a factory turbo, check if it has the boost compensator on the back of the IP. If it does, blow down the line and check it's still air-tight.
Only the early engines have boost compensators.

needs a very minor service to sort out the valve clearances and some hose rubbing issues and theres the slightest bit of chatter on the front bearing plate in the lt95. Its probabley only got 20 maybe 25 years of use in it as a touring vehicle the overdrive will give up first but excluding that it'll probabley make 1M Km with good servicing.
Just twigged which vehicle is in question here, I was speaking to Peter earlier who informed me that it has a new home out west ;) I wasn't aware that it had any issues.
Anybody on here purchased it ??
yes, someone on here has purchased it, and if he hasnt by now then Im going to.
The best thing I did with mine (Lokka's idea) was give it a decent service and put a fuel conditioner through the system, over a few tanks worth. It cleaned out a lot of crap and gave me a bit more umph
Didn't happen without PICS;).
