They're 1300kg's dry though... plus fluids, plus driver lol

Its running 234 bhp losing boost dunno why that is but because i have a 172 engine and a 182 ecu think its causing running problems. Im thinking it might be the actuator arm set to long so its opening the valve abit at higher boost

Turbo's too small? Power sounds about right for 0.5 bar tho, mine made 238 at that boost!

its leaking somewhere far as we can tell

Easy way to tell, just do a pressure test on the boost system.
block the inlet to the turbo compressor housing, I use a piece of silicon hose and a can of WD40. then remove any potential air leaks such as bleed valves etc. Then plug your compressor into one of the ports in the plenum and pressurise the boost system up to max 1bar. You will be able to hear where its leaking from. Then just go around and fix each leak, keep checking your boost gauge until the setting on your compressor are reading roughly the same, you may get some leakage past the rings so they may not be exaclty the same!
Thats one of the basics checks really suprised you haven't checked this before!

Torque should still be good even with the power down, and that's what makes a car fast.
Does sound very much like a boost leak. nice easy test is get it running and spray some brake cleaner at all the joins, if it revs up when you do this you've found a leak.

I had forge dump vaulve diaphram give on mine!
That made it loost boost at 0.6bar
Which dyno shown 250bhp 0.6bar.
Not sure of tourqe figure tho

Yeah, nice quick test and OK if you don't have the right gear! I once had a 2" split in the bottom of an aluminium intercooler which only showed up during the presure test, I always swear by the pressure test method, if your boost system holds pressure then you know you've got no leaks end of.

yeah, it's a quick 1st port of call test really, takes a couple of minutes rather than dismantling to do a pressure test. I've seen a few splits that only open under pressure too, so I know where you're coming from

I had a crap aftermarket filter once that ate it's way through a boost pipe!

When you listen under the engine bay you cant hear a boost leak. I'm thinking actuator or the pipe on the turbo. Checked the top inter-cooler pipes just need to check the 2 that go into to inter-cooler after work now see if i can see anything. I will do the spray test to see if anything comes up if not will have to do pressure test.

It does not have to be a huge leak.
I'm sure you will fond the problem.

You wont mate, unless its between the engine and the throttle body! If its the other side of the throttle body it wont his unless the boost sysyem is under positive pressure?

Sorted then mate well done.

Really hard to find a vacuum pipe for car though lol
ITB'd MK1
which one? the one to the servo?
Racing blue 182 turbo :-)
Need the one that goes to the carbon canister

Use some 8mm fuel hose over the top of the oe tube
Racing blue 182 turbo :-)
Thats what i had to do but wanted the proper thing really
ITB'd MK1
why not just ditch the canister and the pipe? less clutter and even tidier

I was thinking the same :approve:
