Im sure if you keep nick at the team happy, they will have a look at your map for you.  Ive no idea how Nick would map yours as we tried using Jays map for AGU yellow injectors but found that the immobiliser was stopping us from using that, so we had to work off my map I had done last time.

Wouldnt worry about what psi peaks your are getting.  MY boot gauge actually under-reads so was only seeing about 21-22psi but in reality it was 25 (or 1.6bar) peak boost and trailing off. 

What backbox have you got in it?  I have a remus one and no other pipes in exhaust (2.5" straight back to the backbox) and its not that bad at all, really quiet for what it is.

nick will prob need to ajust my map accordingly then i would think then, is strange the big drop in psi from one cooler to the  other i was only expecting a marginal drop.

my box is a custom one i got a full custom 2.5" cat back with one box which i had the tail pipe changed to a turn down as i bought an r line bumper since then the sound level has gone way up and its bouceing off the floor and ino the car

i was wonding if it maybe the mapping i got on there now that is making low boost levels as its a gentic stage 2 map nick come down and put on it for my back in aug '99

Capped the boost in parallel today and logged.  Only got once as its now started to tap when running from the back of the engine.  Not sure what it is yet as its too hot back there, but hopefully its something silly and not valve related/internals.  no smoke or oil and even boosts fine and no dodgy idle or missing.

Probably popped the manifold/head gasket which was only put on couple weeks ago.

Anyhow, less of the boring stuff...heres the log i got.

sh!t keep us posted mate...

however this will be just the fuel the clubgti boys will be looking for lol

Sounds a lot like a sticky lifter in all fairness.  Nothing at all to do with mapping or anything like that, in any way.  Engine flush will go through tomorrow and see what happens.  Worst case scenario is the lifters get replaced.

Whoops. Sounds healthy.

And you wanted to run more power...lol 

It sounds like a lifter to me, not much else it can be. If you need on left me know I have a few sets knocking around.

And the run above it seem like the car jumped in to limp mode at 4600rpm, due to under load.

[Chris.]

It did feel a bit hesitant at one point. 

Ill have to get these lifters sorted out before doing anything else, although still drivable, im sure its not the best to be giving it full beans.

Ive found a method to check the play in the lifters/tappets in ELSA and shouldnt be play in them when cams are up so will check that.

Can you re-use tappets/lifters from a seperate head?

[Chris.]

What would cause it to drop into limp mode?

[Wazzzer]

the knock regulator reading on cylinder 4 at a guess?

What would cause it to drop into limp mode?

Any codes?
