Boost problem
Hi everyone
I just installed Rarly L8 headers and muffler on my otherwise stock 1976 930.
It is a very nice "plug and play" fit and it sounds great.
In the meantime I have another problem:
Appearently I have no boost and the car won´t rev beyond 4000 rpm.
It runs nicely below 3000 rpm but it has a hard time reving from 3000 - 4000 rpm.
The engine has been on the floor for about 3 months while the car was repainted
and I have adjusted the valves, renewed the plugs and plug cables.
I did a compression test also and it showed nice compression.
I have tried following witout solving the problem:
- Checked that the turbo was spinning freely before I installed the muffler.
- Adjusted the ignition. (with wacumhose connected....is that a problem?)
- Checked and tightened all hoses.
- Checked for exhaust leakes (can see no carbon residues anywhere)
- Tried two different wastegates.
I did find a small hole between the cooling ribbons on both wastegates (is that a problem)
