Boost Limiting all the time - any thoughts??
The car is an MY96 with full de-cat/filter VTA dump valve, Dawes, AFR, Boost Gauge.
The other night while leaving a few of the local likley lads in RS Turbo's and Cossie's behind got a few instances of fuel cut. ( It was a very cold night so I thought the dense air may have raised the boost a little). The next day I could only boost at 8 PSI, I checked the Dawes and found a persished hose from the dawes to the turbo nipple, replaced it but no change. Removed Dawes and now boost reading 6 PSI. All the time the AFR is reading green at WOT and fluxuates between red and green under light acceleration (normal I believe).
Any thoughts/remedies?? I was thinking maybe the Boost solenoid was dirty, but also read somewhere about the breather system blocking up sometimes.
Cheers
