Question
1995 Buick Park Avenue

The check engine light is on, and the pick up is slow so had it diagnosed.  They said it is the turbo boost sensor. I have never heard of this.
What is it and where is it located?  

Answer
It is a sensor that tells your cars engine how much boost the super charger is putting out. It is located on the supercharger near the throttle body. It is very improtant because too much boost can blow up your motor, so if it goes bad then the computer disables the supercharger by opening the wastegate fully and your engine operates as if it did not have a supercharger at all. If this is what is wrong with your car then it would severly impact your get up and go.
