right i took it to wgt on monday and he said he found a boost leak in the pipes. he then tightend all the pipes up. the car felt much faster and stronger than before.
 
the car was working fine yesterday nite but today again i am having the similar problem as before.
2nd turbo not at full strength no major g force being felt in the car.
 
do you think the pipes have gone loose again?
 
any help would be appreciated.
i have called wgt but the guy is not available he is dealing with a customer so waiting for a call back.

Whereabouts in Lancashire are you? There\'s a few of us around the Chorley / Preston area... Any idea which boost pipes were loose? Could be worth replacing them or at least the fasteners. You should post some pictures up or something, alternatively make your way over to a local meet, we\'re contemplating a meet in Garstang later in the month.

Other than the boost pipe did Pip find anything else?

Oh and hello!

FLATT4MATT let me know the meet up date im not far from preston.
left a message for pip waiting for a call back yet regarding what he fixed and found out.
 
what i have noticed is the when the water temp sits on 80c the cars turbo seems fine both of them. but when is starts hitting 100c then i get a problem with the second turbo and hardly any boost.
 
i have to sometimes drive it on dual carrigeway to reduce the temperature but when driving in traffic temp will hit 100c
 
can any1 explain this

mine runs steady around 82c except in slow traffic then goes to 95c before fan kicks in & it drops down.think there is a sensor that can be adjusted to kick the fans in earlier or it might just be part of the power fc settings - not sure but someone will advise you
