did the fuel upgrade on the Lucas from jammapic's description, got to a hold because if I turned the inside screw a few mm more, the car wouldn't start anymore.
turned the screw on the outside of the pump all the way in, resulted in less boost pressure... outside screw turned a few ways out, got 1.3 bar (17psi) out of the KKK...
so: will try again, going to turn up the fuel again, wanna want to know if the Lucas can give me some more!
wastegate isn't welded, but if I'm honest, the actuator isn't connected to the turbo hose anymore...
I've got a hose from the turbo to the top-side of the engine and than back to the actuator, this to put a bleed-valve somewhere I could easily get to...
to get more boost (so I thought), I cut the hose, so the actuator wouldn't get pressed air from the turbo, so it wouldn't open...
but didn't make ANY difference...
are you trying to tell my that my gasses still escape trough my wastegate...?!?!?!?
I know, I know, I have to get myself a Bosch, but that's easier said than done here in Holland...!
I'm not trying to get 180bph with the Lucas, just wanna drive again, till I do have a Bosch on my lap...
its bin 3 weeks already, driving around in a 306 1.6 8v petrol, and i'm bleeding from my wallet...!
(petrol is 40 cents more expensive than diesel is out here...)
