i think i have found the reason for my recent boost issues.
sometimes there is a loud whooshing noise when building up boost and when i hear that the dump valve wont go of and the car doesnt feel as quick. it has a bailey dump valve and thinking this is the cause .could it be leaking boost when building up ?
cheers Jon

Could well be, what boost does it normally make if it's running ok? And what is it when it's running bad?

It only seems to run at 0.7 bar which I no is low anyway. Im going to clean the boost solenoid out today . I havent really looked when it sounds like its leaking but pretty sure its next to nothing as it feels like its not boosting .

I had the same prob with dump valve staying open

Get rid of the bailey dump valve and put a standard on.

Cheers for the replies. I should be getting a replacement one tomorrow. Either standard one or forge one
