Default power?

ok i dont know but the scoob seemed a bit down on power tonight
ive been reading the forum and it says i could loose power if i havent mapped with an induction i have a simota forced carbon jobby
would i need to map this?

probably totally wrong mate, but if the pistons or piston(depends on whether it is a double piston one or not) in your dump valve are knackered then you could be leaking boost as the pistons in the dump valve aren't compressing and shutting properly.

this is of course if the dump valve is an atmospheric one.

It's bl**dy boiling, you can't make decent power on superheated air.
