Default Strang boost

Well here we go again stupid car

Ive been taking full advantage of the good weather n driving my saph,

problem is on route home i was playing with a evo n noticed the car felt slightly down on power,

so backed off, quick flick through my sec's monitor to check all the vitals everything seamed ok,

dropped it down in to forth and off i went again this time paying attention to the boost gauge, the car came on boost as normal but only peaked at 20 droppin back to 19, since it was set up its been peakin at 24, so i changed in to 5th n of i went again this time it only hit 19,18

so a quick exit of the m-way for a lok under the bonnet, everything looks fine,(no boost hoses hanging off bla bla)

off i set again this time i check in 3rd car peaks at 21 drops to 20,
W,T,F is going on???

im running a colins actuator (4months old) so that should b fine,
Was keeping a eye on my AFR gauge n All looks good on that side but will down load the dator to double check
and i think my amals fine,

Help lol

if not the stupid things going in the cosworth parts 4sale section

Cheers jay

The car will make less boost in the hotter temps.

Check for airleaks in your boost hoses, just check all the clamps are tight.
Actuator, if its old could be worn?
