The car has been hitting the boost but not holding it , stinking of fuel other than that no problems running... Even had it rolling road checked and it hit 255bhp/262lbft but the boost level dropped off way before what it was supposed to (ct20b turbo)!

Decided to check all the engine bay over and found two loose nuts and two missing this is the turbo-manifold (4xnuts). Had to wait a few days for delivery , £3.50 at toyota each :mad: got them for £1.50 each at TB. Fitted them today it took me from 10am-1.30pm did it while turbo was attached , woaa what a difference full on 1bar and held it all the way.:D

This is mine

Mine's been misfiring on boost quite badly recently due to a knackered thread on one of the exhaust manifold bolts.

I've ordered some steel threaded rod and a few nuts... replace the silly bolts with studs and nuts. Should do the trick.

Free/cheap fixes are win.
