NeedmorePower Member 192 Member For: 18y 9m 28d Posted 08/11/08 06:15 AM Author Share Posted 08/11/08 06:15 AM like dave and simon said the accurator isnt a problem yet as the power and boost isnt a problem as its holding the boost fine without troubling them with the tuning side of things. there words were u should b doing a turbo upgrade,but u dont need it as yet cause of this problem we are facing (low power). they even said with the bolt ons I have we should be expecting power between 330- 340kwrw.... thanks for your suggestions guys ill be waiting on monday to c what they come up with...

Im sure it'lll be sorted out mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed all the stock rubber joiners for some new silicone joiners and my boost shot to 21psi. The car was tuned at around 14psi.Hope it gets all sorted champ, tuff car in the making here..

About as useful as boost solenoid maintenance Edited 10/11/08 01:54 AM by Fat-Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
