Boost leak turned out to be the throttle body, more than likely the water meth damaged the seal or whatever is in there. I'll pull it apart for a look, might be able to repair it. Anyway I put a new TB in there so it's sorted, and I bought another one just in case I need a spare. Still wasn't making boost though...Haltech did an update and limited the throttle to 50%. That was a fun one to solve. Now that it actually gets full throttle the turbo is in positive pressure before 2500rpm. I've only done one quick run at 26psi with no timing in it but it goes like feck with that big arse turbo. Don't get me wrong it has some lag to it, but I can live with that and it's good enough to chop at roll racing. Will get it back on the dyno one day to see what I can do with it, maybe Saturday.

Fitted hectic valve springs and titanium retainers, along with new valve guide seals. Vct immediately got unhappy so locked it out again. 50th time the rocker cover has been off this week Gonna have to use a smoke tester to find the boost leak cos I CBF pulling sh*t apart anymore. The turbo is making positive pressure at 3350rpm, not bad

New FG coils fitted today, it fixed the cutting out issue so that's good. It also was going brrr on the dyno yesterday over about 12psi so it fixed that too. Tried to crank some boost into it today and it hit 32psi at 3200rpm then hit the boost cut. Turned it down slightly but there's a godamn boost leak on the intake side somewhere, I can hear it and it isn't holding boost. It wasn't there before the rebuild so I've just gotta have a look at what I've touched and get it sorted. Also I remembered that I already replaced the valve stem seals so I ain't changing sh*t! Just another day in the life lol
