How do i fetch it out, only the reason im asking is because it just boosted to 13-14 psi and its standard... what actually happened was the boost controller top fell of last night and this is the first time i put my foot down in 4th, and it held at ten psi after dropping down to 6psi, but boosted at 13-14psi. Im getting the -31 fitted tomorow and would like to know?

As above, take it off the bracket and take it apart

std boost cut is 10psi, so i'd defo say it was chipped

well theres go in this one! LOL. I knew no background on it when i bought the engine, and recently the actuators fucked, so its sitting at 6psi. I had the boost controller right out, and the top fell off. Now im boosting at 10-13psi in 4th, and it drops down to 6psi. I think, i hope the ecus chipped, because i fuckin flew.!

The top of the boost controller isnt there anymore!! Also, without the boost controller, at all, period, i got no boost. It is the actuator, hence why i got a -31. Im getting it fitted and set up tommorow, without the boost controller.. thats why i wanted to know whether its chipped to set it up that little bit higher.

No point rasing the boost if you haven't got the fueling to increase with it - be aware...

A fuel pump will only provide the fueling that the metering head allows

i.e it still needs to be adjusted...
