the boost will all depend on the pulley size, spec/condition of charger and belt tightness

glad the throttle cable sorted it

Yeah seems so,

The difference it makes is rather extreme as well, at least in my case it was.

This is how it was before(Wasnt even on the grooves!:

This is how it is now:

Spoke to the guy i purchased it from and he said he had changed a gasket in the inlet manifold but everything was put back as it came out. Guess something was missed ;)

Very happy that this wasnt a more serious problem

Whats the "average" PSI meant to be for a 100% standard G40

So thats around 6 PSI according to this converter...

Just had a quike look to check if haynes manual states the boost and it quotes 0.5 Bar, which is "7.2519" PSI

Mine seems to be running about 8 PSI
