It seems to jump further to the end when it should be smooth.
I agree that slight leaks shouldnt drop 4psi. Am still thinking n75 not opening the actuator enough.

Or on the otherside of things someone previously has tried winding the actuator.bar out instead of getting it mapped and wound it the wrong way causing it to not pull full boost because of the rod being set wrong.

Something is causing your ECU to shut off the boost. To be honest the mapper should have found this fault after or before mapping it, not taking your money then leaving you to second guess it

I'll be taking it back there some time this week.
Over the last 2 days I've found and fixed a few minor leaks but none of them equate to 4 psi loss.

I also borrowed a oem recirc valve today, which rules out the forge 008 ive got.

were meeting later so can have a good look over it all. I'd be asking for your money back for a start, if there were boost leaks and they hadn't noticed these then that's a worry in itself  :shocked:

Thanks for the hand earlier, It's all rebooked in for this Saturday now. Hopefully they'll find and sort the issue. Personally I think he took a chance cutting corners by skipping the health check.

The guy seems pretty proactive to be fair, he was going to have my car back in the day after it was mapped but I found an air leak and put it off

I've just got the car back from V12 once again and I'm happy to say the boosting issue has been resolved! It was definitely a software issue, though I did change a good few pipes that had been split.

It could potentially be worth taking it back one last time for a final tweak to the map, but overall I'm happy with the service V12 provided. I'm also still not ruling out a faulty n75 as the boost delivery is on and off at times.

Thanks for all the help
