Hi all, Finally got the c70 t5 insured and taxed and on the road (delay due to me sending log book off before thinking about what I'd done lol). Anyway, noticed something a bit strange with it today. When it's relatively cold (only running for a few mins) if I give her full beans I get a hissing sound a a slight feeling of hesitation during boost. However once warmed up the hiss disappears and she pulls like a train. Ideas? Chere's in advance Chris

Sounds like a boost leak to me, maybe inlet manifold sealing up when warm? Let it idle and spray carb cleaner around all the hoses and joints, manifold/head joint etc. Any change in engine note means it's sucking the stuff in
