Ok,

 

got the missfires sorted out after a good service. Found out that the vacuum hose for the turbo gauge was not working so after changing that the turbo gauge finally workes.

 

When driving, the car never goes past the Second positive marker (half way into the plus boost)

 

Ok so now i need to figure out why it is in safety boost.

 

Also noticed that the temp gauge keeps working then not working intermittantly (hoping this is cause of safety boost as conzult showed no errors)

 

however i may have a boost leak as i notice no matter what speed i am doing, if i hold down the throttle for more than say 5-6 seconds i get a drop in power (like hitting a wall) then after a second everything goes back to normal for the next 5 seconds.

 

but if i drive with using little to no boost i don;t get any cut outs.

 

 

SO the question for today is

 

A, Reckon it's a boost leak?

 

B, what other causes (that don't show on conzult) could be causing safety boost?

 

 

I do apologise for the way i write my posts and if there is anything i am not clear on then please say so :rofl:

aha,

 

the other thing i wanted to ask is,

 

how do i do a boost leak test?
