i lent my car to my mate , so he could flock my dash , when i got it back of him i jumped in it and went for a little drive , the car felt real slow , almost like a k03s , not a ihi , he wouldnt of changed any bits over before anyone says that , and he only done 50 miles in it , as i noted the milage down of the car , would the n75 valve make it run slow , bill logged the car , and it wasnt getting the requested boost , it was asking for 1.4 but only getting 1.1 , anyone know what this could be , any help would be great ,

n75 check first nick as we discussed last night (swap one)

When my previous IHI went laggy, failing to get going as it used it, it turned into warped melted exhaust housings. Yours is'nt as laggy as that, but not as spritely as when you first brought it either.

Presume MAF disconnect made no odds.. (airflow max was 212g/s logged) but it is likely its a frigged MAF with JS 'mod' to it. 8NO file on it as usual.

Do the N75 first, check the pipes....... and take it from there.
other mechanical things to check would be actuator is closing and opening properly with pressure applied to it etc.....

worst case is your m8 ragged it and its melted its exhaust housing...

hoping not for your sake.. but its common. (and I have a box full of warped/cracked housings to proove it) :hide:

the turbo is only £445 from japan , so it isnt a life crisis if it is , it felt laggy before as well , it did go well , but down low , do ihi s usually boost at 3500 - 4000 revs , or are they meant to kick in a bit quicker than that , i bet a couple of ihi s are like this , but people havent noticed because they have got used to the power
