Hi,

I have just had a new clutch fitted and am now having boost problems...

I went for a little blat down the local dualy and the car would boost but it would'nt go anywhere, i thought that it had to be a boost leak...

It's not the clutch slipping (ran in for 200 miles), and the boost gauge is reading about 10psi (usually about 13psi at full throttle)...

Does anyone know where it could be leaking from, i have checked the IC to Turbo pipe and Dump valve to IC pipe, these look ok...

I also have a slight blow from the downpipe/turbo, would this cause boost loss...???

Thanks for any help...

John.

From: Leeds - It was 562.4bhp@28psi on Optimax, How much closer to 600 with race fuel and a bigger turbo?
