Oh yes. When i get it up, i'll see what temp or even permeant solution i come up with.

I would, i probably should. But i would only do it if i get a new wastegate with vband.

I think it's fixed. I'll need to go for a data log. Might have been the wastegate gasket. But boost is hiting quicker.

As mentioned above; try the Nord-Lock washers, and check the website if you don't think that they'll hold better than the normal spring washers, spring washers loose their strength when they get hot, Nord-Lock's don't have that problem!

At the moment i have nylock nuts and 2nd nuts to hold them. I also put gasket glue around it, and it seems as that could have been the issue.

And i have a feeling the fuel is **** too. Will be filling up with 98ron next just to compare.

Nylock will be NOlock after the first heatcycle. Hope it works.
