88 Lebaron GTS 2.2L Turbo hissing noise
Hi gang, My 88 LeBaron GTS 2.2L makes a loud hissing noise (like a steam
engine) when accelerating. I know air pressure from the turbo caused the noise. but how do I know which hose? the airbox to turbo hose or turbo to TB hose? Also, is the turbo by pass value suppose to be inside the airbox? Thanks Kenny |

My 86 LeBaron GTS Turbo died 10 years ago, the turbo siezed at 112,000 miles. Midway in it's life I asked the mechanic who replaced the head gasket at 50,000 miles what the life expectancy of the turbo was an he told me 75,000 so I felt pretty good that I got 112,000. You must have 250,000 miles on that thing, how many times have you replaced the turbocharger? |

It's my wife's car and she bought it in 1989 with 6000 miles on it. Still have the original turbo, original 3 speed Transmission, original Exhaust, doesn't leak any fluid at all.......However, I do need a new head gasket put in. That car was the most dependable car I have ever owned. Abnd it's great in snow. I also have a 1998 Camry (120K miles) that car has more problems than the LeBaron... believe it or not. Kenny |
