Default overboosting

right i know somone who's just got an rs turbo,
on its dyno test that it came with, it says it was overboosing with "the amal valve fully extended".
how would i be able to tell if the turbo's nackered, or if there was any work carried out to sort that.
also its now got a dump valve fitted if there wasnt any work done would it be safe to take the dump valve off.

on the dyno it says it was running 150bhp but its only got a new exhaust dumpvalve and an uprated manifold, could it still be seriously overboosting?

overboosting suggests as jon says it was hitting the limiter.

i imagine that report was more of a "problem was, problem fixed" kind of thing.

yes, you can take dumpvalve off
do you have a boost guage? whats it running>

If you taking dump valve off you can use the spare hose to fit boost gauge.or you can stick it in between the hose off the silver ecu..you can fit intercooler off diffrent cars its just getting them to fit and all pipes to fit which is hard bit.....

is it a local car where did it come from i might no the car?????
