2 be honest i just checked the max boost on the apexi, she defoo aint boosting right.. pulling no where near what she shud be :(.. gunna have a good look tomoz as iv just removed the airpump n acr, so a bit less to play with lol..

Theres 2 nipples on the turbos at the front, ones blocked off and ones going to the greddy boost controller, shoul they both not be used? remember pip saying if that section broke off(common prob) then u loose all power to yer tubbys?

if memory is right the waste gates are sprung for .5  so if you lose the ability to controll them they revert back to that. (blown pipe duff solenoid et al) - i think - worth takeing off the air box (if there is one) and have a good goosey gander for any obvious problems ;)
