Boost stops at 1.4bar - N75?

[hunker7]

0.9 bar with N75 connected, 0.5 bar with N75 disconnected. I did get it to tick over to 1 bar in 5th gear @WOT.

Fair enough, let's say I have a boost leak (making the test thing now), but how is it possible that nothing changes when moving timing by one tooth?

Take the motor fuses out or disconnect the battery to clear the ecu.


And

Did you do this yet?

And do the check where you run it with the N75 disconnected so you get an idea of how much boost control the ECU is actually doing.

We need to know the difference in boost between N75 connected and N75 disconnected.

Drive up to VRS at Northampton, 60 miles away fair prices and know these cars inside out Best thing I've done so far

[hunker7]

What i don't get is how by moving timing by 1 tooth it didn't change at all. If it was right the first time, then it should be running even worse.

I opened a thread asking, but only recommendation I got was Kim Collins from this end of the country, and ideally like to sort it out before I am off to uni on 20th

Kim Collins will cost the earth.

You would be better taking it to a kind forum member since it still drives and plying them with copious amounts of tea and biscuits (or alcohol depending on how troublesome it turns out to be)

ouch - that's a bit of a hike!!

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN RECOMMEND A DECENT MECHANIC IN JANIS' AREA??

NO!!! ...ok, I am actually considering it. But I hate giving my car to people

just do it and be done with it.

wasn't there someone recommended in your area that you can trust with it?

[hunker7]

GIVE IT TO A RECOMMENDED PROFESSIONAL BEFORE WE ALL HAVE A STROKE!!!!

Just checked, it's all alingned

Just moved the cam pulley as UrS4boy suggested, and **** all changed, runs exactly the same.

Did you recheck the cam timing after the move, i.e. set the crank to the proper mark (at the flywheel through the observation port, by rolling the engine ahead, AND THEN recheckingthe cam sprocket to cam cover marks?

That one tooth should have made the difference.

Agreed!
