But that equates to 2/3rd orange on the stock gauge, or orange/red border on the new 1 bar gauge. Doesn't peak and drop which suggests the wastegate isn't opening to back off boost. I've checked that the APC solenoid clicks when you plug and unplug it with the engine running, and that works fine. I wonder if it is time to clean and drain the intake pipes and intercooler wonder if the IC is filling with oil? Have I read somewhere that there is a drain plug on the bottom of the intercooler (original all alloy SMIC) for flushing? -- The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
