boost problem
99.9% of the time car runs nd boosts great, really pulls, but ocassionally if Im putting my footdown a bit, Ill go up to 3rd gear, it will start to boost, and then just stops, doesnt drop boost, just wont go any higher. but I can de - accellerate, then go up through gears again and its fine
Hope this makes sense as its probably not the best explanation LOL
any help greatly appreciated

Stick the amal valve back on, if to do nothing else than allow the ECU to protect your engine...
