Gauge is ok?
No pipes kinked?
Exhaust system blocked?
How are you controlling boost?
Boost comp connected?
No clamps lose?
Hi piggy, I will have to work through that check list bit by bit as I am too tired of the whole thing for now. Maybe I will have a look tomorrow. But I can say for certain that the exhaust is fine, boost compensator is connected because in between that and the intercooler is my boost gauge take off and the clamps are all connected on the intercooler/turbo as well. I am using a manual boost controller but it seems to have only a slight effect, wound right in.

Yes there is tons of smoke when I put my foot down, I am running enough fuelling on the bosch for 30 psi on the K14 unit.
I really need to go out and play, I am fearing that the waste gate is not completely shut but it is so impossible to tell with the actuator hidden down the back of the engine and now with the exhaust elbow on too. Put when it was off I gave the wastegate a push and it not move any more from a closed position. But that could have just been the actuator holding it
It's just so impossible when I have been working on it the last four days to get really stuck in so soon again. Trouble is I have to get the engine off it's mounts and the whole car jacked up to access anything. Thanks for the help.
Edit: Just been out and noticed that the silicone inlet joint has come off the turbo inlet but is not fully off so it is directed at the turbo but not blocking it. I wonder if this was the cause of the slight boost increase instead of playing with the boost controller :/ Also, can't really find any kinks in the hose from the turbo to the intercooler either. I can't even see the waste gate actuator without taking the engine off it's mounts, I think I will leave that for the weekend. I am too tired for any heavy work, plus my bedroom is a mess. Everything stops when I have to tackle a big job and it is my daily driver as well so I can't afford to have it off the road for long.
