Flukey, No I dont...fordboy1981, No idea if its custom or generic but it Sounds like I might have to take it in to get a custom tune done to be certain, at this point just looking for any other possible causes as to why its so low on power...RAP1D, I was thinking the same thought, the boost graph on the dyno is jaggedy up and down badly at 10psi and then jaggedy all the was back down to the 5.5-6psi level, I might try a turbosmart MBC and see if that helps hold it up abit better if not ill replace the actuator, I will probly change it reagardless for a stronger 1 anyway...Tree Monkey, Ive read when its valve springs there tends to be abit of a dip in the mid range and then it picks up again, its not doing that so im not sure whether it may be the case, anybody have any idea on what valve springs cost both on there own and fitted also...senna_T, As mentioned to tree monkey its not dipping mid range and I thought it would atleast be cracking 200rwkw before I would have to be worrying about valve springs but you never know its 1 of them things that can happen...revheadrobbo, Only fitted it becuase I had it lying around, and no its not enclosed and the car was cooled down when it was on the dyno, its not sealed but sits down behind the headlight...senna_T, no not enclosed so I might remove it and fit all the factory stuff back in, but I dont think that would be the cause...Thanks.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 1m 19d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 27/01/08 09:09 AM Share Posted 27/01/08 09:09 AM Stock cars can boost spike to 10psi and then drop down to normal boost levels.I would suggest you try to plug in the flasher and see what tune light is on.If it is stock I am sure flashing the 8 or 10psi tune will bring a smile to your face.
