just done a mates escort td screw in pump 90 degrees in and the on boost one 2 turns out. then i shortened the wastegate arm by 2 full turns which i thought would have given me more boost but the car is actually slower now than when it was standered so now i am very confused anyone have any ideas i would love to hear them as i am now stumped

Turn them the other way (actually, not sure - I take it you have checked against the sticky at the top of the Diesel Secion?)

 

[reaper]

yes i have turned them the correct way but it was worth mentioning thanks this thing should have more power now ?

 

[DavePage]

Has anything changed, like the idling speed (up or down)?

 

[reaper]

no its idleing ok

 

[totalguy]

reset your changes and do one thing at a time start with the screw on the pump.

Did you definately shorten the wastegate arm? It sounds like you did all the other adjustments right.

 

[reaper]

yes mate i shortend it by two full turns

 

[waynej]

Thats very strange, has the amount of smoke it produces changed at all.

 

[reaper]
