Hi people, im quite new at the forum, quite because it helped me on the buying, now that i own a TGTT i decided to participate ;P

Now im about to write a noob-banlike question so plz be patient its my second car and the first was a VW Bug 80, soo thats my toyota background xD

Now i bought this car about 1 week ago, every thing seems to work fine, its an EP71 year 1988, yeap its quite old i know, but its the best i could find on the price range, every other gt i asked for was &·$% UP!, well cut to the chase, I dont know crap about toyotas, and cars generally, so idk what the panel Lights inform me about, i just would like to know what they stand for, i know high lights and such, but here goes the deal,
When my turbo bar fully charges, i can hear that sweet sound of charge, i get this orange light, with some sort of engine logo, and i get a sliight pull on the car, as if i stoped accelerating, what does it mean?? is it bad??
Anyway thanks anticipated, and great GREAT community you guys have here!!!

Sounds like fuel cut, does the engine management light only come on when hitting full boost? The juddering is the fuel cut, ecu restricting power. I would run in low boost until you can identify why it is hitting fuel cut.

Are there any engine modifications on the car?

Boost creep:

nop, no mods yet, and yes i only get that orange light on the bottom left only when hitting full boost. im not running on low boost at all, so reading the boost creep thread, i have no clue on what to do xDDD i have a better idea on how the turbo works, but how do i know whats causing the problem??
im total ignorant on engine issues, and even worst when it comes to turbo :confused:
