Hunty Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 (edited) On the way home tonight the car starting holding back. Every time I got to about 0.7/0.8 bar of boost it really held back and started popping almost felt like I was anchoring on the brakes. Anybody have an idea on what this might be? Currently running a tongs hybrid set to 1.0 bar emanage blue etcThanksBrad Edited September 19, 2013 by Hunty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
