The dawes device will turn up the boost, but it must have been turned down for a reason. The car might have been hitting fuel cut or something ?

To be honest I don't think the Dawes device is ideal. You could really do with getting it remapped or even an Apexi AVCR and Apexi S-AFC2.

If you're turning up the boost you need to increas fueling and a few other things too

sorry to butt in but i was gonna do a new thread then saw this....how do you turn up boost exactly then? had my 97 classic a few weeks id be intrested to learn how you do it ?

std boost on that car was about 12 psi, whoever/wherever you were advised 16 is talking rubbish.
