have been driving this to work for the last week, and the last couple of days noticed that my wide band was around 13:1 afrs(was tuned to around 12:1) and that my et street tyres didnt work as well as they used to. i never really get a chance to look at the boost guage on the road as its a little dangerous while on boost but took a glance as it comes onto boost and saw that it was reading nothing, the problem being that the boost guage is T pieced off the wastegate hose, so if the gauge isnt working neither is the wastegate. opened the bonnet and realised that the vacuum hose had blown off whoops.
so not sure how much boost it runs with no wastegate reference but would imagine that it would spike over 40psi as it comes on and probably come back to around 36-37psi. the bonus is that it would have 18-20 degrees of timing at that boost and still no sign of detination. so maybe its time for a 4 bar map sensor
