- first the car struggles to start when cold and have to pump the pedal but its fine when its warm
- somtimes the car idles at 2000rpm then goes down to normal 10 mins or so
- the other day i was driving around and still after about half hour the temprature guage was still at the bottom shouldnt it be sitting about half way on normal ?
- the main problem was on top end i go into 5th and after about 70ish you hear the turbo spool up and the dump valve starting to woosh abit then it sort of shudders and wont go any further and slows down
any help would be really appreciated thanks

does sound like a good set up is what you need mate, then you know everything is spot on - could be fuelling or timing or that so better get the experts to diagnose?
Is your temp guage moving at all? Sender or guage could be faulty but both easy to change
oh and get some pics up
