Just to see if the car is going well and all that..
waited for the car to be warm, then set off down the A413 in Chalfont - Gerrards cross 
put her in Phase2 mode and kicked it...
Overboost to 20psi
then held strong at 14-15psi (was in the middle of the 2 lines)
this held in each gear fine.. even when the car went over 110 the management light didnt come on  (usually does, crank shaft position sensor)
so all in, the car is running fine n dandy

when i got the punto it spiked to 19 and then settled at 16..
just recently it has started to drop to below 10 when my foot is still planted down..
turned the boost up abit and now its holding at 16 again but is faster :S
i think i nede to check the piping from the intercooler to the turbo, i had that off th eotherday to look for oil.

OMFG i need to put another 10 psi in now, and takes a sip of red bull!!
I dont think it would hurt but its probably best to ease off flick the hell yea button and then plant again!

I don't know what my boost is, would love to find out but can't be bother with fitting a boost gauge.
Must be a fair bit to get power up from 189 - 240bhp though..
