As above folks, when my everyday runner/ track car was coming back from krissey m`s yesterday it seemed hesitant on boost , i drove it today to see some customers and again , it seems to boost fine and hold it etc one minute then it will seem flat and allmost like its not producing full boost etc , i havent changed a thing , i was wondering what people may be thinking as to what may be causing it and if anyone has had this symptom themselves before.
I think my tdc lead is fine, not a 100% sure if the aie is not breaking down with the heat as its right above the turbo {no shield} , i dont have any air leaks as far as i can see, the plugs look good...hmm, as i say its not all the time, its like its slipping off boost everynow and then...:scratch:...ahh bless these renos...:laugh:, any help would be great cheers people..jeebus.

my crap was in the carb bowl so cleaned it out and cleaned all the jets!

With the TDC wire at idle try moving the wire about and see if the car hesitate! cause it could be a poor conection that only happens when the engine rocks farward on boost!
