Re: 1997 850 GLT **Low Boost Issues**

Only thing i did was replace the yellow and blue vacuum lines from the turbo control valve, cleaned the maf sensor and replaced the air filter. Ill check to see if there are any detached lines and corroded elbows and check back with more! Thanks for your input!
