25 miles down the A38?

the rip kit should not effect your boost mate if i was you get a smoke test done if you think its your bcs then try a mbc and if its your actuator it will not boost anymore with the mbc or bcs.best...

I think I used about 4 full turns to get my boost up, I ran the car like that for a couple of months, then replaced the actuator with a good one, but it should tell you if that's where your problem...

It could be a number of issues.....what fuel are you using, there could be problems with your maff, bcs - really a number of things. If you can spare the time its best to bring it over to...

my car is standard and boosts at 10 psi in 2nd 3rd and 4th sometimes it overboosts and hits 12 psi but it dont like it and starts jerking, maybe its your gusge can you feel the difference with re-map...
