Hi to one and all iv got a my99 turbo wagon wich iv had a while now its a standard uk model with a dv on it wich was already on it now down to my question iv always thought it should go better than it does.on my way to work one morning I was overtaking a car when all of a sudden it went like well it pined me to me seat so on closer inspection when I got to work id noticed that me vac hose was split the one that goes to the waste gate and t's of to the boost solenoid . Now iv cleaned the boost solenoid and still the same so if any one can help me I would be much appreciated for any help and iv looked at the forums and I cant find any thing that sounds like it so here I am hopeing that I get some ideas many thanks mike

Hi all iv now fitted a boost gauge and im a bit concerned of fiting a dawes device ie MBC . As my car is only boosting at 0.6 it is a my99 turbo wagon can any one give me some info on how much boost to safely run at as I cant afford a remap and dose the mbc go in between the turbo and wastegate if anyone could put a picture up I would be most grateful thanks

0.7bar is standard boost you can run it up to 1.1 bar safely fella



90' bend at the bottom goes to the actuator the other end to the turbo wind it most of the way out then close it up for more boost
