I still have a small leak from the servo pipe (silicone hasnt sealed it 100%) but boost wise I can now hold about 24psi, if I try and go a little higher then the boost spikes right up to around 30psi fluctuates badly and I hear a kind of farting/spluttering sound, this to me (from what I have now learnt) sounds like surge?
Going to leave it as it is until my new manifold is done and then see how I get on.

About those R888, is camskill.co.uk cheapest place? Price is something like 500€ shipped to Finland, 195/50/15. I have so bad traction now with 18 psi of boost it spins wheels when flooring 1-2 gears.
When was 21 psi it sometimes spinned wheels 3rd gear.

One thing which i am bit worried how drive shafts / gearbox will take that torque 339nm of my 1.6....
