Td5 V8

Hi all,
With a lot of help from shack and a few others I have now resolved the issue and boost levels are back to normal. 16psi with the odd 17psi full out.

I undid the bolts on the down pipe and pushed it down so there is a 5mm gap, drove around the block and beside an awesome sounding car the boost was back whoopot. Tightened them back up and loosened the ones further down the pipe, back to normal. Replaced the down pipe and boost is now back to normal. Whoohooo

I step away for a few hrs and there's accusations flying everywhere!!

Thanks for that though, I do try and think things through.. In my own special way of course.

The help is one thing not giving up is another. Amazing!

I’ll post the after graph from the nanocom. Egt temp with light load and mid performance map high at around 460 boost max 13psi, with standard map around 380 and boost 11psi now with new down pipe egt 280 and max boost 17psi. Can’t wait to see what my fuel consumption is like.

Here is the latest map: I'll get on to compare a bit later
