possible turbo problem
just been for alittle blast in the cossie and it seems its struggling to rev past 3k rpm its standard and could do with a set up and will.
is it a weak actuator possibly? the boost gauge seems to be showing 0.5 bar
tomorrow when better light will take hose off to see if theses any play in the shaft.
what do you think??

Gaz,i am sure there are more knowledgeable people here and i may be wrong but i have run a turbo with play in the shaft and i have never found it make a difference.You always get some play,not a lot but always some.Ive had my series 2 since new and it has now covered nearly 100,000 miles.just changed the turbo only coz the oil seals went but it still boosted well.dunno what a cossie produces boost wise though.I would be tempted to check elsewhere first,ignition and fuel etc.
