my first project please help
Hi ive bought a 1996 turbo wagon uk 208bhp early this year its the v1 I think it needed a little tlc new cv boots, new calipers alround, abs ring on o/s/f was broke and abs sensor was missing it had the springs cut as well so ive put the sti pink spring on so it sits nice anyway it has always had a boost problem from the day i brought it home, it goes through the gears nice if driving soft/normal but if you put ya foot down it will reach 4/5 k & its like a limiter it just wont go past 4/5k unless i let off the pedal I have read a few fourms & ive changed the boost solnoid (3port) but not the other stuff near it ive put brake cleaner through new solnoid and the pipes cleaned the intake from MAF back & even lowerd the engine oil to half full (under hole not notch) put new plugs in (NGK platunem) I was wondering as it has a decat system and ramair filter n colins dv would it need a remap chip in the ecu as i have looked and it doesnt have one I have also reset the ecu and no codes are showing after a 5min run in it (cant go far in it as no MOT) but did have a few errors before tho they were (44) (45) (24) (11) the only one that worrys me is (11) as ive been messing with the others when engine was running i.e putting cleaner through them

Get rid of the dv and see how it runs without, could be leaking.
As neil says change the maf i dont no if your problems could be a sign of maf faliure though, im sure someone will be along soon and offer more advice.

I cant take the dv off as the pipes that connect the std dv (that i dont have) is now connected to big pipe off the resonator as the resonator has been removed for the ramair induction kit also if the MAF was faulty would it not show as an error on ecu? I have taken the dv off striped n cleaned it & it looks in good nick.. is the colins preformance dv any good it looks cheap i must admit as its gold n purple in colour lol
