Can anyone help me! ive recently bought an rst with a blown engine. ive rebuilt it and had a chip and stage 2 hybrid with all the usual samco,s and bits fitted! But the prob i have now is that it cranks for about 10 secs before starting when its hot and even from cold when it comes up on boost it holds back and wont rev!anyone got any ideas im at my witts end with this thing now!

there are litterally a 100 things it can be! Are you sure there are no boost leaks and that your knock sensor is conected (if you have one!)
