I agree, check this out today I was taking it to my shop, when I turn on AC and let out on clutch eng dies. Like I said it has a lugging affect. The turbo has about 80k on a rebuild and it checks out ok best I know what to check for. No end play to speak of I mean it has some play but not rubbing houseing, spins real free, spin with your finger and it spins for a little bit. Checked all boost boots, they were replaced about two maybe three years ago, there all on nice and tight.No controller on it anymore just about stock. :shrug:

I doubt the turbo is the cause since at idle the engine really doesn't need it... But the fact you turn on the A/C and let out the clutch and it dies is not good. I wonder how much load the A/C is putting on the engine? :think:

I have not made time to work on it today but got to thinking AC and maybe another bearing like the fan, might be something to look into.I just hate like h--- to think my 14 month old Blue Chip vp might not like me anymore. :lmao:

Ok, your not going to belive this. So I changed the filters, added two stroke (Forgot to add at fuel up) reset apps and running just fine. I still think there is a under lying problem that is not showing up.Egts back to normal, boost normal. :think:
