Boost problem.....advise please

Post by jcurtis6183 »

Hi guys,

My rev3 tubby has recently started to 'stutter' when reaching approx 0.80 on the gizmo boost controller (set to 1.20).

She runs smooth as ever until that part and still wants to keep pulling until the 'stutter' kicks in.

Any ideas??

Let's start with the obvious.

What's it like with the Gizmo removed?

Any idea where I would run the vacuum hosing to rather than the gizmo? Sorry I've owned her without the boost controller so no clue to the original plumming #-o

I'd picture mine but it is a mess at the moment.
