Jellybean Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 She's a 93 , roughly 160K miles , BPU++; Things get old , and everything has a shelf life Maybe the hot weather but sometimes she feels a bit gutless, most of the time she pulls like a train ; today she was making a gushing noise (like trying to breath through your teeth), never heard before Anybody come across the gutless pulls at times?

Going to state the obvious here, you have checked for intercooler and pipework leaks haven't you? Classic symptoms. Very easy to check if you have access to compressed air.

Tyson Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Going to state the obvious here, you have checked for inter-cooler and pipework leaks haven't you? Classic symptoms. Very easy to check if you have access to compressed air. This. The recent hot weather and cool nights making the pipes expand and contract might have split a pipe.

Swampy442 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Well, Ellis's 170k stock twins pull like a train, and make 1.1bar consistently, Id say your issue lies elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
