Thanx Rob ;
I remember you writing about it , wasn't sure if it was you or whomever .
I'm not out of the woods yet , not by some margin .
Remember I recently posted it simply refused to rev. over 3,000 RPM ? . to - day I drove it 110 miles or so so I decided to let it out a bit , got on the Harbor Freeway @ PCH and as soon as I could I held it to 3/4 throttle and was pleased to see it climb to 93 MPG (GPS) before traffic forced me to slow down to 75 ~ 85 .
It's been a long time since this car went that fast , I'd forgotten how nice and stable it is at high speed .
Still and all , if I give it too much (like 1/2) throttle @ 60 MPH , it'll downshift and I know this is dead wrong .
It also labors too much as it runs up through the gears .
I'm going to borrow my Son's boost gauge and see what's going on there .
As it turns out , I bought a new SEARS Craftsman snap ring pliers and cannot find it _anywhere_
.Does anyone have a copy of the W-123 Factory Shop Manual on CD - R ? I had a copy years ago but can't find it and need Technical Info , time to do my homework .
It's 90* F and 93% humidity , I'm dying here .
-Nate

Nate,
I rebuilt my turbo a few years back, and it's like night and day, much more power and response.
I just used 2 HF picks, and yes it was a PITA, to install the clips.
If someone hasn't rebuilt their turbo in the 30+ yrs the car's been around, it needs it.
