Turns out it did! Probably cost more in time than just buying a rail but I was curious to see if it'd work. So with the boost control, I spent some time last night road tuning it to 23psi and it was all good. The only thing I did differently to the tune to go from the 485 it first ran up today, was put the desired boost to 26psi. I haven't even had a chance to look through the logs yet as I left work at about 7pm. It certainly looks like it is boost creeping but I'll need to see what's actually going on. I just looked at the log and it is showing 23psi, give or take less than half a pound, through the whole run. I have measured 30psi on a shift before so I know the log isn't pegged out or anything. I'll investigate further and see what is happening. I spent some time thinking about how to make the page more presentable and readable and that's what I came up with. I'm still very much a dyno noob so hopefully it gets better from here! 2

We'll see how that goes and if I run into further issues I'll do a hectic upgrade. 2

I'll try this little upgrade first as it is fairly cheap and will tidy up the engine bay slightly. I'm all for sending it to the moon eventually though 1

Turned out his issues all along were valve spring related. Plaz springs couldn't cut it and I think he also said the crow didn't either (three valve spring changes in the end) but will have to check our messenger conversation... He went a colder plug too.Is the dwell different with the FG coils? As for the pcm not being able to cut it for the ignition, I asked Dave at CPV (specifically for Greg's issue and if he had used the boosters) and his reply was that he's never needed a spark booster regardless of power. Unsure if he's willing to offer personal advice to any tuners but it seems he has done many times in the past and is a nice bloke to talk to anyway...@Puffwagon How's the ZF holding up? Have you changed any settings yet for it?Killer power btw also!

I forgot to lower the plug gap so they are still at 0.7mm. The trans is fine, I don't do full power shifts anymore so it will stay alive until I upgrade.
