Default yet again big thanks to jimmy bodgit

poped up his to chuck ideas and see if me cars fooked ( hes had the most experience with fooked cars )


well after having a play and a bit of gaffer tape later the cars now boosting as it should ( was 32 psi at one point )

was soooooooooooooooo fooking stupid too, heres me crying in to the vodlka last few days and its the fooking amal valve jet


anyway thats sorted out,now boost and holds 1.56bar till SCC can have a further play and a set up , we was gonna have it at 1.7bar but decided no , was more fun with it though


must admit though it was fooking scary for me but im sure jim will post what happened


yes i am a cautious driver not a nutter is all i will say


still feels slow tbh but i got a idea about it


so no problems with the car just need setting up like it was gonna have done anyway, oh and a wheel put on it first, that will be done in the week though


im now a happy cossie owner

that really sounds like i was sitting there going "more boost, more boost!"



funnies thing was when it was peaking 1.7bar holding 1.5 sorted i think... then it turns out ginge was being a big girls blow#se and taking his foot off the gas hence why the boost was dropping back

now ginge, put it in the garage and DONT drive it... now you know its not a fucked engine you can be a happy bunny... but dont drive it (esp not flat out!) untill you get it set up (h, and clean those BLACK plugs and it might stop misfiring at 6k )
