Never its down on power. :?

Its just not right. I have redone all hose claps on Tuesday with expensive stuff just to insure that there was no boost leaks.

I have cleaned my Intake and Idle sensors, Checked all claps to and from the turbo to the boost controller, Gapped my plugs to 1.0 mm , I have reset the ECU if that makes a difference,cleaned the AFM again, Cleaned the cone filter. and check and fiddled with timing replaced the fuel filter.

And she is still down on power. I really don't have a clue anymore

timing and grounding??? and there wasn't much wrong with the CAS, 'cept bearings!!! - go figure!

water temp problems too.

Put it on a dyno and see. The problem is you get used to to the feel of the car and when you do a mod you expect great things but it feels the same.

Sit in the passengers seat and get some one to give it willy and then feel if the power is down.

Grounding is Sorted with the grounding kit.
Hmm maybe I should swap y CAS out with the spare? aswell as the water-temp sensor.

It feels slower in the passager seat. It used to scare me when brenwin drove my car and brenwins car scares me in the passager seat.

i've seen him on the track and i agree - it can be scary at times!!!!

try those things, it will be a little time consuming but it will eliminate more possibilities!!!
