I've been told my loss of power is due to heatsoak and over boosting, but i'm running a k03s. So i've bought a larger intercooler, getting a low temp thermastat too. Hope that helps it.

My car was spooling up fast but dropping off to soon, giving less peak figues. So we adjusted the actuator, to help it hold boost for longer. In turn, hopefully giving it a larger peak figure of what i paid £500 for, (stage 2 revo)

im running the same map i only peek around 18 PSI and it drops off quite quick but i also did logs a while ago that gave me the same figures so even tho it was hoter this time theres something holding it back it just lack torque??

You should spike higher then that on a stage2

Haven't you said on another thread you think the turbo seals have gone?

If turbo is on its way out your not going to get massive figures.

I'm not an expert but I would think failing seals in the turbo would cause a lack of performance? I may be wrong tho.

I think stage2 should peek 23-4 psi and hold about 13-15 at redline.

it holds around 12-15 but the seals could be part of the problum but would this effect the g/s reading?????? thats my main concern that being so low

18psi holding 12-15 sounds like stage1 boost.

I'm not actually sure failing seals cause a loss of performance I'm just assuming.

Could also be a fault with breather system causing smoke and nothing to do with turbo.

I mean oil breather system, the bits people usually replace with a catch can.

I would get any faults fixed with car first then worry about performance.

what is this catch can i hear about whats it positives? im slowy working threw the fixings next is driveshaft :( then probs turbo seals if its not to pricey then ill replace MAF uprate fuel pump then window and door seals then spray wheels then LCR spliter couler matched in metalik i hope but yea think i need to sort out some things lol

Thats not enough boost for stage2 thats only just over a bar? 18psi? I would check all boost and vacuum pipes for splits.

Chech DV to.
