I have a 91' Talon TSi 5 speed. I started having a "clicking" problem. Everytime I try to start the car, when I turn the key, all you hear is a click. The engine doesnt turn over at all. So I replaced the starter not once, but twice. When I installed the each of the 2 starters, they would work the first 1 or 2 times and then the car would start the clicking thing again. What could it possibly be? Is it possible I got 2 bad starters in a row? Bad ground maybe? ......Second problem, when I hit boost in all gears, sometimes it pulls real hard (like its supposed to). I am running 17 pounds roughly. But sometimes when my car hits boost, it feels like I am running maybe 5 pounds of boost. My boost guage is telling me 17, but I don't pull at all. I don't even know how to even start to find the problem. Is the turbo on its way? It has shaft play but not very much at all.
 
When i replaced my starter, I went to start the car and all's i heard was the clicking noise.. I double checked everything and the little skinny black wire that clips on fell off. Plugged that back in and it started right up! Just make sure all the wires are connected and secure.
I'm not to sure about the other problem though, sorry.
