How did you guess?! I suspect all that was done is they turned the boost up but up I'm just guessing....

Not good at all,you might be lucky and caught it in time,I wasn't so lucky when the mapper left my car 'detting it's **** off' the Pistons were too damaged and one exploded not long after.
Hope you've caught it in time,just drive steady until you can get a decent mapper on the case.

If it was "mapped" by the cowboys at PVD. First thing I'd do is stop messing with it, take it and get it mechanically checked out, then go to a reputable mapper and get the map checked and possibley altered. I've seen pvd work and it's not up to much.
Go get the above done, otherwise you could be chasing your tail, meanwhile something could be wrong that you are un aware of

Bottom line was everything was good on the leakdown test, but the fuelling isn't right and the car is detting like mad. It won't be going anywhere or doing anything now until it's booked in for a proper map somewhere. In the meantime I'm going to look into upgrades to fit pre-map.
Anybody know if the Graham Goode 10mm oil pump would be good on my engine? Needs to be able to work at 400-500bhp eventually.
