the rings were shagged, getting blow by coming out of the dipstick and oil covering the engine, valve springs gone lol. had heaps of metal shavings in the sump when we changed it too. was cheaper to get an fg engine than to get it fixed.

Hey guys sorry to jump in on ya's... Anyone here selling an engine? I need something to chuck in my car whilst I rebuild mine. I don't have a spare vehicle to use. Doesn't have to be fancy or anything. after something fairly cheap, Just to get me around for a while. I have searched the net and found some wrecking but thought I would also put it out there to you guys. Inbox me if ya do. Cheers

Ok the problem is fixed... strangely enough it was to do with the throttle body. I took it off and gave it full clean, noticed that the bolts were a little on the loose side, also cleaned the plugs with WD40 then blew them out with the air compressor. took off the TPS and also cleaned in there. put her all back together and made sure all the bolts and connections were done up properly and now she boosts right through all gears. such an easy fix that didn't cost a thing and only took about an hour of my time.

no result as of yet.. still looking into it.

air filter is stock

Just to clarify the car will go past 4000 rpm while easing it there but not while under full load.
