Yes at 2500rpm the car comes on boost. So driving at 110kph fo 8oks its tetering on boost constantly. The manifold glowed red even down thru the dump pipe. pretty standard.

If you were cruising it would be in vacuum, not positive pressure - unless you had your foot in the brake and trying to boost it for 80kms.

Mate if new i wouldnt have asked here. Just thought it may have interested a few people. Its a similar setup to jet3lt by the sounds of it. If it was me i would have had some race fuel in it. But i wasnt there and didnt know it had a problem probably caused thru the dyno run and too much boost. If i new maybe i wouldnt have purchased hey. The drive out of newcastle isnt dead flat either. Up and down some hills. The cars pretty new to me and i still havent got it yet. Its been 6 weeks of mucking around to find out the problem. When your not in the same state its akward to. Any advice and help would be nice.
