Have you checked that all the pipes are done up tight (boost pipes could be an air leak) and there not split anywhere. Are all the earths connected and have you got a GOOD strong battery on there??

yh i took filter off, an got sum 1 to turn it ova while i watched the meterin flap bob up an down, so no air leaks there, i will recheck my earths tomorrow, also i towed it round the block a few times 2day and wen i bump it in 2cd gear it sounds like its runnin on 2 cylinders wiv foot on accelerator, soon as i take foot off acelarator its dead
