First problem: no power at full throttle
For the little that I’ve test driven this car (Andrea test drove it), I’ve noticed that the car has no power, either from the transmission not down shifting properly, or the turbo providing no boost. There could be several reasons for this, but I suspect the top reason is vacuum related. Below are two images of something I discovered after inspecting obvious vacuum fittings. The junction near the screw on fuel filter has a line that is plugged with a wooden dowel! That means anything downstream from that tube isn’t getting any vacuum. So far the only symptom has been the lack of power and the shifting issue. I spoke with the seller and he’s going to help diagnose the problem on Monday.
