Car was running fine slightly rich at WOT so i thought i could get away with a little extra boost:D I had the actuator arm wound in all the way all ready so used the bleed valve to try and get around 22psi of boost, I also gave the afm a little turn clockwise(on the adjustment screw) so that it didnt run lean. When driving the car it didnt make any more boost stayed at 18psi but felt slower than it used to:scratch: it also had afr's of 16:eek: at WOT so i pulled over and tried twisting the afm adjustment screw the other way to see if that helped but it made no difference to the power or fueling:crap: Anyone got any ideas as i have run out:sad2:

Is your boost gauge working ok? it wont be the first time ive seen aftermarket ones giving incorrect readings?

never had a prob with it but im going to give the pipes a going over make sure theres no leaks, But still dosnt explain the loss of power as even before it leaned out it wasnt making the power.:crap:
