big thanks to Nick today
« on: 26 June 2010, 19:35 »
been up to R-Tech today with the Golf and things haven't quite gone to plan. Initially I had a bent actuator bracket resulting in the erratic boost I've been experiencing. Then Nick found there was a lack of fuel which is more than likely the MAF on its way out, also a fair bit of lag low down which is probably the actuator needing upgrading. Really can't be spending out any more on the car in the near future so it's going to have to survive as it is probably until the new year. Can't fault how the boost feels high up in the gears though, just that lag that's annoying. Nothing seems to be going right with it recently

Cheers guys. Hulmie have you got the Forge actuator on yours?

I decided to take my frustration out on the car on the way home by giving it some full throttle action lol

It boosts up to 18psi and holds 16psi at the mo but still has the horrible period of lag when you plant your foot. Gonna get the MAF sorted next week and go from there.

Not as bad as a certain someones weekend though :sad:

Its in a car park near the showground.  Nick is going back after the show and recover it to his workshop to asses the damage.  I'm hoping its just a new turbo  :lipsrsealed:
