hey guys, wat a bodge my new car has been, was out lookin around and i noticed that the atuator was set to hold the wastegate half open?? i adjusted so it hold it shut. now car is flying from around 2300rpm the turbo hits and pulls like a mother,

all i need to no is what shud my peek boost be..... it went up to a tad over 20psi when i floored it in second but it drops down to like 19psi, in 3rd it did the same peeked a little then droped down, didnt hit a fuel cut but just wanted to make sure im not going to hurt anything...... as i have no dump valve it makes a nice turbo chatter.... i here this is bad (yeah??) so going to take it steay intill i get a recirc.


also behind the cover for the sunroof switches ive found a box with vortex on it and a race flag, has 3 wires one looks like a phone line sort of wire and it has a little adjuster on it..wat is this

The amount of boost is about right but id be worried its not fuelling right for it and it might run lean. Get it to R-Tech once youve got a DV and let them check it over and map it properly  :smiley:
