Ended up re-gapping the spark plugs from 1.1 to 0.7 and it's running boost properly now ! Thanks again to everybody for helping out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I ended up doing and it fixed my problem instantly. Other then that I'm not sure what the problem could be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think theres a thread somewhere; but basically clean out the hoses that connect into the solenoid (pretty sure you just use wd40). I do it every 6 month service... Dunno how much gunk comes out or whether its all placebo, but my car always boosts good straight after the service (and stays that way for a few months) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
