The turbo waste gate actuator was not holding boost. Car went to Nizpro this morning and got juiced up - only holding about 8psi of boost... and consequently well well down on power (under 250rwkw first thing this morning with cold temps)So ditching the stock unit and in goes a new upgraded unit along with some machining of the housing etc. to do this properly. Once this is all done should be back to the normal 14/15psi and more power, and back to the track for me to try and improve my mph and time...cheers, Ben.

What did you pay for the actuator Ben? After seeing my car on 18 psi from the Nizpro Dyno Day that's not a good thing with stock engine! Time for a retune. Rob...

Rob...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>The actuator itself is not so expensive (Still waiting on the exact price), but the job itself is reasonably labour intensive as I am getting the turbo housing modified to suit a larger waste gate, so turbo off and stripped, then machining costs. Want to do this properly now "in case" I opt to rebuild the motor and increase boost at some future time.Will PM you when I get a final price.Ben.

I cant believe you left it there. Crazy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
