Amal valve problems..... maybe......maybe not..... probably!
Put smits amal valve on mine today and it was smoother boosting and only @18psi, while put mine back on and its nothing nothing nothing nothing!!!! 24psi!!!!! and at 20-21 it cuts and then carrys on ........ and when dis-connected my amal valve and then run the car - NO DIFFERENCE same boost same lag!!! 
would this mean my amal valve is FCUKED!!!! 
or could it need to be re-jetted as mine would only seem to have 1 jet and thats it...... or should i just get a bleed valve ???? ideas's / help / opinion's / abuse 
all wanted!!!!

Sounds like you amal valve is knackered, I had the same problem with my previous Saph Cos. All the power came in at once and it wasn't until around 4000+rpm. Put a new amal valve on and it was back to normal.

DON'T run a bleed valve. They are dangerous!?!

bleed valves are sometimes used to rectify problems elsewhere though. I tried it on my S1 when I was having boost problems, but then realised it was better to fix the problem than solve it with using a bleed valve.
thanks guys....... where's best place to grab a amal valve then????? anywhere close (ipswich) 
Without the amal valve connected the ECU has NO controll over the boost if something was to go wrong!
