Yep at 50% throttle getting up to 100kph, it uses 99.9 on the dash, then if you floor it, it drops to 80 something before going back up when the boost kicks in. Hopefully I can get it sorted cos I've used half a tank to do 110km so far, a sh*tty situation to say the least. I really gotta say again, the mofo moves out when the appointment for boost arrives lol. Test drive today showed 27 to 28psi, still with only 5 degrees of timing, feels like high 400s, if not a tiny bit more. The dyno can wait until I fix the fuel problem so will be a week or two, smoke machine arrives next week so updates will happen then.

Here's an interesting one...the car is using triple the fuel at idle, over double at cruise, triple or more while gentle accelerating and a normal amount at WOT. I've ordered a leak/smoke machine to check the hot side, so it will be interesting to see if there is a leak causing the high fuel usage. Lol it was hitting the 30psi cut on the shifts so I upped the cut to 35psi. Should be sorted in that area at least

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.
