starlet86 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Rite, In the last week or so i have noticed that (sometimes) my car doesn't seem to be pulling properly.The boost gauge says its boosting at a steady 0.8bar but it doesnt seem to be pulling like it should. 1 day it will be pulling fine and if i plant it in second it will spin in the dry, then other days it wont even spin in the wet in 2nd!! It feels as if it goes a little then holds back then pulls n its kinda gently pulling then holding off! Only mods i have are:MBCFMICForge BOVRunning 0.8barAny help would be appreciated guys!! Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Get a HKS actuator The spring is soft in the standard actuator so it leaks boost at high rpm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlet86 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Been given a busy week at work so going to do it on thursday morning and give it a try and let u know. As for the HKS actuator thing it seems to be doing it through the whole rev range but might invest in one neway!! Saying that it seemed fine today because i have been driving around alot as i fitted my HKS SSQV (sounds amazing!!) but i know it will do it again so going to try what i can and see what works!!!
