make sure your exhaust isn't clogged with carbon

Make sure your fuel sedimenter is not full of jelly (if it has one)

Make sure you have no restrictions in your fuel line

Make sure your injector pump diaphragm is not damaged

make sure your fuel filter is not clogged

Clean out your intercooler

turn up your fuelling

The hose? Its really quite tight to the pipe..i was thinking more that the hose from the airfilter was a bit compressed and restricting airflow..pic 2 i think.

Where? where the rubber air hose joins?

The one coming off (literally) the turbo. It looks like the airfilter canister is connected up the wrong way (inlet and outlet) don't know if it would matter?

would also route the inlet on the air box to the front, away from the heat.

yes to your Q

storm99 · Jan 5, 2011

Its not coming off Gratch, it actually is really tight, was difficult to get it on as i kept the N/A air filter housing. I've been thinking all day how to change the air filter so its got better flow.

Hmm..so just swap the hoses round?

3.5 efi · Jan 5, 2011

no, it's getting lost in translation, are you Dutch or summat?

storm99 · Jan 5, 2011

No i'm bloody english!! If i swap the hoses on the air filter round, then it will be drawing air from the front of the engine..i.e the cooler area...
