I didn't get anything, never had a dyno, Liam doesn't have one? There is no problem, he car has been the same since I got it back... Just not as fast as I expected

Sorry I was referring to lordmike. Yours (going by the vid) looks to be running as it shouldI dont know what im running aimy, Liam said anywhere between 280 and 300. I would of thought he would of said that the boost control solenoid was buggered if it was?
maybe you was expecting a little too much from it as I've been in a lot of fast cars and stage 4 isn't slow

James, take it back to Liams, get his view from a test drive.
Im shocked to even think a stage 4 cant keep pulling from 60Mph upwards 3rd/4th & 5th.

I know when my intercooler pipe was loose and I was loosing boost, that made my car feel slow, even A-Monkeys SC stg2 almost pulled away from me...
Im guessing you fixed the air leaks ?

Trying to compare the vids side by side, doesnt look much in it with yours looking slightly better off.
Im going to try another go tonight when it cools down a bit and see.

its hard to explain, it pulls just not as much as I thought it would with a light car with lots of BHP. After looking at that vid there looks to be a difference after 60, although I am looking at it on my phone

Yeah the Vx strong points are low to mid range if its more top end power your looking for I would of thought you need a bigger turbo to achieve this?its hard to explain, it pulls just not as much as I thought it would with a light car with lots of BHP.

My first popped off the lower intercooler pipe (IC side) that connects to lower part of turbo.
Had to upgrade the pipe work and clips.
Normal boost leaks are from the boost pipes splitting or popping off.
Normally a phy check, I think someone made (maybe Nev) a air pump to fill the system with air to check, Trying to find that post.

Lower boost pipe kept coming off but I've sorted that out with stronger clips. I seem to always hit 20psi so shouldn't be a boost leak? Although Liam did say there was a turbo leak but probs because of the snapped stud. I will try sort this out and see if there is a difference

The car always seems to stink of petrol, is this because of the decat?
