iv not had much time to do anything on the car as i was on my hols all last week, but i managed get a couple of hours last night to do a bit.

firstly i decided i wanted to replace the german ebay 2mm needle valve as iv been told they dont seal well at all and refit the oe solex needle valve which i had drilled out to 2mm.
so i took carb top etc etc off and did this no probs.
But on removal of carb top i noticed the drivers side pin was hardly even pinch tight, so i got it back together and went to refit carb top all went well until getting to the drivers side fitting it wouldnt tighten at all and must be threaded, so this is where some of my boost could of been going?
i now have the required bit ordered off mike and hopefully will have it here saturday.

i also adjusted the actuator to get it sitting more square as the rod didnt look square at all tbh.
iv done a bit more research on billet wheel and my mate tells me there is no increase in size.
im now hoping with the oe needle valve fitted that the fuelling can be sorted and also fingers crossed might of fount the boost/lag issue
