Hiya, I have fixed my boost problem and now i can get 1.1 bar :lol: But i want to add some more fuel. I used to idle at about 750 rpm for some reason and want to know what i should be idling at? I have given it some more fuel to bring the idle to 950 rpm but i read the how to and it said add another 300 rpm with the fuel screw and then back it off wit the other idle screw. What should i be aiming for as an idle? I wound the screw in and it ended up idling higher but the performance was better. Is this a good idea without an egt? I ordered 1 last night but just impatient

Not that much smoke though at this 950 idle
Cheers

Mine could get way too high without hardly any smoke at all going up a hill, so if I were you, I'd get a gauge if you like your engine.

Yup, pretty sure that when you install your gauge you're gonna find out that that much smoke means well over 1300... danger, Will Robertson.
