I just picked up my first 87 GN that has been sitting for 8-9 years. It needed a fuel pump that I replaced with a DW300 hot-wired and it fired right up. It idled great, but at hard acceleration would buck/stutter. After replacing the spark plugs (autolite AP25), vacuum hoses and air filter the car ran pretty good considering the amount of time it had been sitting.
After taking it for a quick spin it randomly spit oil out of the dipstick and now constantly leaks oil from the passenger side valve cover breather. Its getting oil into the intake and leaking from there as well. Its night and day how it drives now power wise. Still idles ok (maybe a slight tick) and engine wise seems to run well. I replaced the PCV (kirban) thinking it could be this, but still having issues. While the turbo still spools the car really lacks power. I'm at a loss as to what to do next as while I'm handy am new to these cars and turbos.
Turbo fins look perfect and there is zero shaft play. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
