Hello mate,
Not to change the subject but apparently you and i have the same issue re the boost on our cars
Just wanted to know what exactly your car is doing?
Was at R-tech today....and mine is spiking to 14psi and holding it....still pulls hard but does not want to spike to 18-19psi and hold at 14 psi
Is this your issue.....and what have you tried so far?
Cheers

so you have a forge dv on and it is still the same as mine have you got the yellow spring in ur dv.
yea mine goes like hell but if the boost prob is sorted out it will be even better :grin:

Yeah i only saw the spring today for the 1st time when Nick removed it.....
Mine is spiking to 14-15psi and holding it through the rev range....how about yours?
Apparently it's suppose to go passed that and then settle at 14-15psi.
Also Nick removed the actuator pipe (unlimited boost) and it still boosted exactly the same as if it were connected :sad:
