    Already gapped at .22, With further inverstigation, the boost is fluttering between 15 and 20 psi, can only assume a fault with the wastegate, have a tial to go on it so hopefully this may cure the problem8-|

    Cheers guys, its a custom one, made with an oem lower manifold, done by a chap in Germany for a very resonable price, he used to advertise on ebay.de but not sure if he still does.

    Hi folks, wondered if anyone has an ideas for the issue I am having. Basically from startup hot or cold I have a lot of pressure coming out of the rocker cover breather pipe. On idle or under load it doesn't increase or decrease much at all. It a 12 vr6 turbo, bottom end only done 40k just had head gasket done and head skimmed as I thought this may be the cause, usses a 2.5mm spacer and steel vw gasket, car runs well, slightly ritch but thats all. Any ideas would be a great help as driving 700 miles to and from e38 next week and would prefer if I could sort it out. Thanks Dougie
