You'll find a little tweak of the wastegate (do 1/2 turns ONLY) should bring you back up to speed...

Hmmm, Davis did reset the boost on mine when they fitted the intercooler. I forgot about that.

dose that work on a D2? we tried that on barry's D2 last year, didnt make any difference to power or smoke.
i thought the D2's waste gate was regulated by the ecu??

Could of the disgustingly hot day any have any thing to do with it or does it take a while for it to work properly?

Do we turn it clockwise or anticlockwise

Increase max boost = shorten rod

Decrease max boost = longer rod

When a mate was consulting to LRA back in '98-'99 they had a Storm engine on the dyno at Rose Hill and they increased the boost 1-2 psi and doubled the thickness of the I/C and they claimed near 20% increase in power/torque.

Almost seemed too good to be true, but I worked with him for a number of years and he never BS'd.

Its a shame they didn't deliver them in that spec!

Yep, that's what Mark said too.

So far i have gone 1 full turn on the wastegate with no real difference

I guess i just keep turning until it goes into limp mode and then back it off half a turn

pull the hose of that goes to the wastegate modulator diaphram.
if this dosent make a difference you have a problem.

if it works you will over boost, the car will still drive but the fuel map will go to a defult setting, so the car wont be real responsive. turn the engine off and re start, that will reset the map.

marcel showed me this trick ages ago.

cheers phil
