As someone else suggested, check the diaphragm of the manifold pressure compensator and the free movement of the mechanism and also check that the stop screw hasn't come loose and wound itself out. The symptoms sound a lot like lack of fuel in the off-boost range.

Let us know what you find.

sorry Ian I just saw your post;

Yes , it is possible when I adjusted the position of the Eccentric cone that I didn't quite set it back to starting point , I also made adjustments to the Star-Wheel ,and the stop Screw was wound up to help the low boost driveability, I wound it up quite a bit but car was blowing a bit too much black stuff on no - low boost so I unwound the Stop screw back to where I thought it should have been. I was meant to take it to GCoopers on Friday for a proper Tune.


I also sprayed a bit of that silicon spray inside the eccentric shaft for better lubrication, so it's freely moving in/out oops ( hope you're not thinking what I think you're thinking )

I'll post it up as soon as I find out what was the actual problem is....
