    Running problems 3B

    just been out for a 50 or so mile run and on the way back had a bit of a duel with one of those skyline things.But anyway thats not the point.Up till that point i had been drivin steady and when i stuck me foot down i was shocked to say the least.Where has ALL my mid range grunt gone i thought,must be in the wrong gear i thought.It gets away ok up till about2750-3000 then it just seems as though someone puts the car into normally aspirated mode. Also noticed since that happened when im going along with just a little bit of throttle on it is surging just like im turnin the petrol supply up and down but only a tiny bit.Any clues anyone.

          The 3B set is £210 for the set IIRC.

                Without a boost guage - you have NO idea what is going on. Get one even for temporary use so you know what boost behaviour you have...
