i suppose its worth a go at askin the garage to have a quick look at it, they can only say no. The thing is im pretty skint at the mo, im self employed n works gone kinda tits up.
I was seriously considerin treatin myself to a remap before the work situation like.
Iv just had sever laps around the block and a rumage under the bonnet. 1st few laps round i did with my car is it was, (i have a forge splitter dv and had it more or less fully wound out so it made that tshhhhh noise). The psi was peakin at 6-6 1/2 mostly, sometimes 7 when i planted my foot on the floor in 2. It just feels like in the high revs in 2nd (like when ur headin towards 60mph) its a bit flat. In 3rd gear i would plant my foot and it would go to 7 psi all the time.
I parked her on the drive and after lettin her cool down turned the ignition off n lifted the bonnet again. I decided to wind the splitter dv back in so that it was fully recirculatin and wouldnt make any noise. I noticed that there are a few rubber tubes knockin about round there which only appeared there after i had the boost gague fitted. One of them is touchin the dump valve and has evidence of heat damage. Not much, but there is a smooth indentation on it where its been restin on the dump valve.
had a 2nd spin round the block. It just felt more responsive from the get go. The psi in 2nd gear was up at 7 consistantly now. Im not 100% happy tho cos im sure that when 1st had the boost gague fitted it was gettin almost 8 (cant remember wot gear tho). Ah well im just gonna claim a minor victory and try to forget about it so it wont worry me. Im sure in have o.c.d. or some kind of autism....
