Spoke again with the workshop - car ran a max of 1 bar of boost with a normal reading of 0.89-0.9.
Apparently the standard actuator wasn't even hooked up properly and even now it's working - it's only the std 1 bar actuator.. not good!
The fact I got round East Fortune in 1.17 is pretty good going as I was tippy-toeing round Pates and Esses and she was only running 200bhp witha defunct actuator.
I have ordered Freeware (£149 - ouch!) and will be working with Falkland and Dermot next week to get to the source of the lower boost and power loss. New race actuator also on order to run boost >1 bar. See previous blogs on Freeware - basically it's the only diagnostic package that wll work with the GM ECU and will allow me to monitor the engine far more effectively when tuning and racing..

Hopefully we can get the car past the 300bhp and back on target. Then a return trip to EF is called for..
