Hi
Have you rmoved all cats?What exhaust have you fitted, was it system or system and headers?

Re: overboosting problem
 

Have you checked the pipes from the boost solenoid are the right way round. I am sure you have but thought i would mention it. http://www.polarperformance.co.uk/Boostsolenoid.html

well the car was de cated before i got it so all i did was change the system for a 3" including the decat but the decats looked the same but the one i fittted was wrapped, and its had a stainless mainfold when i got it,

i have checked the vaccum pipes but i will do it again

Scott would be your man for that question. :doubleup:

Re: overboosting problem
 

if you have the blue style boost control solenoid, or even a similar one tothe link but with only 2 pipe connections,the plumbing is different and it uses a t-piece and restrictor. Alittle bit complicated to describe unless you have them to hand.

if you are using an aftermarket boost valve (mechanical) then connect this between the turbo outlet nipple (5mm vacum hose) to the boost valve, then the other side of the boost valve the actuator (round thing with a rod coming out of it that connects to the turbo).

set the valve so the car runs 0.9-1bar boost.
