I didn't realize it was running so low before as I still beating people etc.Anyways if I give it to it goes to 10psi then falls back to 6psi if I hold in high gear it goes to 12psi once again.Mechanic took the wastegate pipe of and it still only goes to 10psi etc, if I leave in manual mode it goes to 10psi then drops to 6psi through the rest of the gears...Now here is mods, Siemens 60lb Injectors, Walbro GSS342 Fuel Pump, Bluepower CAI, HDi Intercooler, Bosch Platinum Spark Plugs and an exhaust...Any help please...

We removed the hose to the wastegate so by rights it should just go of its tits... Turbo was just put on so hopefully not that...

stevet Member 85 Member For: 18y 5m 15d Posted 04/08/09 05:27 AM Posted 04/08/09 05:27 AM hey plugg3r, you get any closer to working out what the problem was?
