Then i had an issue with Boost creep, the wastegate wasnt flowing enough gasses so off came the turbo and out came the grinding stones...

The turbo now holds a good steady 1bar all the way to 6k

Things were a tad loud so i popped a silenced Decat on and she has now been noise tested at 95DB at 4k

Next thing on the list was to solve the slight fuel leak.... off came the Plenum and fuel rail to find the injector seals to be shot.. and a couple of the Pintles broken.

30pounds of seals and pintles later and she was back running fine :)
