  1. your problem is castor related, basically its moving the wheel forward in the guard ( in simple speak ), you should have about 1 degree difference left to right. I.e the left reading should be about 8 degrees to the right of around 7. this has the left hand wheel 'leading' the car so it doesnt run with the slope of the road. dont worry about this guy who has done it previously, there is no such thing as manufacturers specs when it comes to wheel alignments.... so basically avoid him at all costs!!. you can get a small amount of shims in the factory mounts on the upper control arm but depenind how bad it is I dont know. a suspension place can install a camber/ castor kit that will fix this problem. basically you want as much castor that you can get. 1 deg negative camber left, 0.75 neg camber right. this allows for you when you are in the car. 1.3 mm toe in to offset the higher than normal camber. while your at it the rear should be set to 0.2 mm toe in. that isnt normally done but it works well when lowered. by the way this from 15 year experience. just go to a suspension shop....not pedders and send the dealer the bill
  2. fitted the new switch, boost comes in earlier but seems to taper of after 3500. fuel economy improved dramaticly. which hose do you fit a boost gauge too?
  3. I WD40'd the boost switch yesterday and now I got near no boost at all, rang coventrys and im getting another today. ill fit the new one and see how it goes.
  4. hey guys, im new to the turbo world, ive got a bf xr6t 6 speed auto (extra clutch packs) flash1, intercooler, fuel system/injectors, exhuast, waste gate modded. its alleged dyno of 357 kw. the thing is, its performance is varied. sometimes its good and really kicks you in the guts(weather not permitting) and other times it sounds like it is bypassing boost and it doesnt pull as hard. ive been reading forums about acutators and such but its all over my head. question is has anyone had such a problem and wtf could it be. it has been a bit negelected, bar oil changes, ive cleaned the k&n (which was black as!) done fuel filter which was not as clean as it could of been. any info to a resoloution is greatly appriciated.
