So, pre-Nurburg trip July 2018 I had a boost issue. Would only boost to 27psi peak and hold 24/25. Should be 30 psi max and sit on 24/25.
Over Christmas, the head gasket needed doing as it was using water. So all that is sorted and the car is running great. Later found that the T34/63 bearing was worn and the wastegate arm had bent which all needed rebuilding by Vince Osborne, which was sorted.
Boost leak test up to 36psi with nothing showing at all, amal valve jetted correctly (as is a 2wd) and the -31 is brand new. I've even unplugged the amal and actuator to make the turbo boost the world......but still only 27psi and held 27 for a couple of seconds. Also tried 2 other boost gauges which state the same and my pectel monitor also only shows the same boost.
Aaaaand discuss
