HELP, Strange sound, little boost

I've just imported a my94 type ra which has an apexi induction and an apexi power FC, first time using it saturday and something has seemed to have gone wrong. The turbo noise (i think as i have no idea) comes in about 2200rpm as a nice spinning noise but since saturday it sounds like its spitting flies and has less boost. If you look down at where the induction kit hits the engine I can see so oil... help help help. Before this when it was running ok the check engine light would flicker at high revs. help help help

If anybody has any idea please ring me on 07970 976530

cheers

marc

With an Apexi PFC fitted the engine check light is used to show any detonation. You've obviously been getting some, probably since the Apexi will have been mapped for Japanese fuel (102RON) so running it on even Optimax (98RON) will not be good. Are you using any octane booster?

No idea what the problem is but I would get it checked out at a specialist asap. And don't drive it.
