Socks Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Have you got a boost gauge? Are you building boost? if so how much? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesD89 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 no boost gauge mate standard hi/lo settings at the moment but its worse on low spools up fine just no kick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 DO yourself a favour and get a boost gauge installed.... This will allow you to monitor exactly what boost your running, rather then guesstimating off the lights in the rev counter! Possible boost leak? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesD89 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 I was thinking boost leak comes and goes though was fine on my way to work this morning fitted that cover so must be something i have moved in the process i'l have a better look now could it be that thin pipe that runs over the timing belt and under the front il try and get a pic of the one i mean shortly i will get a boost gauge as soon as i get the new actuator fitted know what you mean though.

Socks Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 My advice would be fit a boost gauge before fitting a new actuator especially if its an adjustable one.. The last thing you want to be doing is overboosting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TedEP91 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Guys I'm a bit lost, have a glanza 96 with large front mount, decat with straight through all the way, ct9 hybrid turbo and a baileys blow off valve and boost bypassed so always on high.. When I put my foot to half throttle it boosts to 0.5 but if I try any more is starts like jumping and restricts itself any ideas?? Teddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
