johnd-mkiv Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Since getting the car back after having a full engine rebuild and t67 singl turbo conversion, I have not been overly happy with the performance, I have had a few issues lately that im not happy about but have fixed them myself unitll yesterday I have found the car not boosting above .6/.8bar which had me a little worried with not much help from the garage, I assumed it might be the wastegate on its way out. I had a clean up in the engine bay today and noticed a loose pipe turned out to be the main pipe coming from the boost controller I have connected this to another loose pipe I found while digging around, took her out for a run :blink:1.6 bar and I shit meself I think its hitting around 70 in second!! really pleased with it now:cool: Going to have a good look around it this weekend for piece of mind when the weather picks up ill have some nice vids up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnd-mkiv Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Nice one John, was 1.6 what you were expecting or is it over boosting, mine went to 1.7 when had problems with my vsv etc + Fishman mate , I never received them pics It was mapped to 1.6 and that was what the boost controller was set too so just assumed when it was on high boost that was what is was running. I never really payed much attention to the boost guage to busy looking at the road untill I recently got a chance to test it propperly. Dont really want to flame the garage yet will see what they have to say first, if Im still not happy I will post up my experience with them, as I see this fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
