Ogk, so i hit fuel cut for the first time yesterday, not a happy bunny :(
Boost peaked at about 0.96 bar in 3rd, so It\'s running a bit high!

It was mapped by Pip a couple of months ago and i\'ve never had this problem until now. The only thing that\'s chnaged is:
Half a vacuum hose job (doing the ones that doen\'t requitre the UIM to come off first) and fitted my SSQV, as it made the pipework routing a lot easier with the V-mount (didn\'t have to connect the stock BOV to the air filter)

Full engine spec is:
Stock block and ports
99 Spec twins
Apexi Induction kits
XSP cooler in V-mount configuration
HKS FrontPipe
Tiger Silenced mid
Nur spec Cat back
PFC

And that\'s it.
It happened at the top end of third, and i didn\'t have a chance to look at the PFC logs afterwards (forgot and turned the car straight off when i got home :o) So it\'s hard to tell if it was a spike or creep.

So, the usual 2 questions:
1. Any idea why i\'m only just getting it? Surely it should be less likely with the warmer weather of late?
2. Assuming it\'s not creep - for which i\'ll obviously need to look at restrictors and/or WG porting ( :( ) How do i fettle the boost on the PFC? Is it possible to change the settings permenantly with just the commander? Or do i need datascan?
It usually runs about 0.87 bar, nice and steady, and that\'s what Pip Mapped it for. lthough he did comment when he mapped it that he needed to turn the gain down a bit.
This happened at the top of 3rd btw - well, about 6k or so.

Cheers in advance!
