driving home from v70grahams bbq on sunday i happened to encounter both tunnels on the M25 and as anyone who has heard my exhaust first hand will tell you.......it just had to be done...........switch to sport mode........open windows and sunroof...........slow to 50mph.............enter tunnel foot to floor........frighten the feck out of everyone as this howling banshee comes out the other end like a rocket...........HOWEVER.............the second tunnel wasn't so good......................set car up ............foot on floor..................feck all boost..................
so i've checked every pipe connection etc etc...............nothing
so i thought..........i know i'll ask the lads at vpcuk.........just before writing my life story begging for help again another thought came into my head...............
check past posts...................lo and behold i found a post that steered me to the problem..............no split pin in actuator arm.............yes the arm had fallen off the pin...............so 1 nappy pin later and..............14psi boost again...................
and no ribbing from vpcuk....................maybe
just like to say to anyone with a problem check previous posts first it could save you an embarrasing question...............and a lot of funny answers
its a great forum so lets use it well
sorry to gabble on but now and then its nice to applaud the forum instead of critisizing it

Glad to hear you got it sorted :)
At least we know the search function is working right too ;)

lmfao that would be your "aggressive exhaust" ;)
Glad you sorted the problem :)

I did the same thing in those tunnels on the way to North Weald last month, no boost issues for me though. :P No aggresive exhaust either unfortunately.:(

YEAH.... I had that at Cadwell.... 50mph trip back to the pits to fix with a bit of copper wire. It didn't last long before I had to get some split pins from Halfords..

Your's would be the car the neighbour asked 'Is that the boy racer of the group'
When I replied that you were the quiet and reserved one she just shook her head and went inside.....priceless !
