yeh bud the gauge i have goes from -8,-6,-4,-2,0....0.5(bar)....1.0(bar)...etc when i floor it in high mode the gauge hits 0.5 bar and stays there solid untill i release the power,when idle it floats between 8 and 6 in the vacume range. as i have a screw on the side of my bov i wanted to ensure my car was capable of releasing pressure correctly etc and me fiddling not causing it to blow up!!

ah right,im unsure!! so the engine decides on the amount of vac pressure needed when being driven... when idle should it be high or a low amount of vac pressure normally? thanks for your help rick

thanks,i wasnt sure if i would need to buy a boost controll kit or something? is there a great difference between a actuator and a manuall controller??

hi guys and girls.... im back to pick more brains(after searching the site engine for related topics) im un sure about vacume pressure and where to have it set?? Is it good to have more or less vacume?? my cars standard other than air filter and dump valve(that has a pressure dump screw on the side) by adjusting the threaded screw on the side of the dump valve it changes the amount of pressure released i believe?? thanks.Ross

hi all, just wondered does anybody know how to turn up the boost on the turbo as my car is running at 0.5 bar and i would like to push it up to 0.7/0.8 to see what the gain would be. thanks

JUST TOOK MY GT TO A TUNING CLINIC, DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING A FAULTY THROTTLE SENSOR... SHOULD HAVE THE PROBLEM SOLVED NOW...(I HOPE) ANY IDEAS WHERE I CAN BUY A SECOND HAD DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW MOTOR,THATS GONE ASWELL!!

OK IL TRY IT N LET YOU KNOW THANKS MATE. WITH REGARDS TO A TIMING ISSUE-DO YOU RECKON IT WOULD BE MISSING THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE REV RANGE NOT JUST AT 4000RPM UP??

YEH PLUGS LEADS ROTOR ARM AND DISTRIBUTOR CAP,ALL BEEN CHANGED. HELD THE REVS DOWN SOFTLY SO THAT MY BOOST GAUGE DIDNT BUDGE AS SOON AS IT HITS 4000RPM ITS MISSING AGAIN BUT ONLY AT THAT RPM...CANT PUSH THE REVS PAST THIS POINT ATALL ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY...

.

IM STILL PUZZLED AS THE WARNING LIGHT IS STILL PLAYIN UP, MAYBE IT S NOT A FUEL CUT PROBLEM??

NO THERES NO WATER INVOLED IN OR AROUND ANY PLUGS OR LEADS. THAT IS WHAT IT DOES....THE REVS RISE UP WITH NO BOOST LIKE YOU SAID HOW TO DO IT,THEN THE MISS FIRE STARTS AGAIN AT 4000RPM TIMING IT IS THEN YEH??

NO STEAM OR WATER IN THE LEADS OR PLUG HOLES BUD, THEY ARE DRY AS A BONE AT ALL TIMES... THE PLUGS ARE NOT WET,ALL THE SAME COLOUR HOW IS THE BOOST ADJUSTED? TO THEN KNOW ONCE ITS TURNED DOWN IF THIS IS THE FUEL CUT PROBLEM??

HI ROB, NA I ALL IT HAS ON IT IS A K&N FILTER IN THAT RESPECT, MY BOOST GAUGE READS IN LB/0'' AND GOES FROM 9 O'CLOCK BEING 20(WHICH IS IDLE) UP TO 5?? WHICH WOULD BE 2 OCLOCK WHEN ACCELERATING... I've HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS AND ITS NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE?? IT SOUNDS LIKE A LIMITER KICKING IN BUT WITH THE BONNET OPEN YOU CAN HEAR A MISS FROM THE ENGINE?? A HOUR AGO A LOCAL GARAGE HAD A LOOK....THE GUY WAS JUST KICKIN THE TYRE SCRATCHIN HIS HEAD BASICALLY AND SAID YOUR GUNNA HAVE TO SEND IT TO A SPECIALIST!!

Hi Bud, The Bottom Far Right(on The Dash Display) Orange Instrument Illuminates Now And Then For Some Strange Reason??at Random Times,sitting In Traffic Or On The Motorway?? Its Only Been Doing It Since This Misfire Problem... I Sound Like A Clown But Im Unsure What This Light Indicates?? Once I Push The Key Fob Button This Illuminates The Same Light Which Then Goes Out And The Engine Can Start I Thought It Was Just A Flickery Immobiliser Light?? You Mentioned It Could Be Cutting The Fuel?? I Havnt Touched The Car In Any Way Such As Messin With The Boost Etc....basically Because I Havent A C

Hi All, I Hope Somebody Has Some Sort Of Idea What Maybe Going On With My Gt?? On Last Wednesday I Noticed A Slight Misfire On The Dual Carriage Way When Pushin My Foot All The Way Down On The Gas, It Gradually Became Worse So I Changed My Ht Leads,distributor Cap,spark Plugs And Rotor Arm To Sort The Problem Today. The Car Is Now Sweet As A Nut....only Upto 4000rpm When It Begins To Bog Out And Misfire Creating A Juddering Like Feeling Like Before???? The Car Never Stalls Once The Revs Lower, It Settles Back Normal Tick Over Fine And Theres No Smoke Of Any Sort That Looks Out Of The Ordinary
