Hey all,
My problem is this: car starts fine and runs good for about 5 mins or until it warms up a bit and then it drives like crap. Sounds and feels like its running on 3 cylinders. theres no power and its louder than usual (exhaust is 3inch turbo back) battery is putting out 13.6v while running. any ideas on where to start or what to check? Car ran good for about two weeks after I took it out of storage. Only took it out twice since this problem. I might just sell it as is otherwise but that is a last resort and probably wont happen. Thanks

94 VR4 dohhc
Started it up today and it was running bad right off the bat. If one of my turbos was blown would the car be really loud like this? It sounds like its running without an exhaust

I didnt sell it....It was too tempting to drive all summer. But I might be selling this spring due to moving
