They actually are... My friend didnt want to say it, but his 320 feels far quicker, i had to say it for him

sounds like your car is running shite man!!!
dont worry about decats manis etc till you get it running right to start with (no point)
as wolftown said check fuel pump (you'll here it prime but pressure may still be shite)
Afm boost leak etc...
try borrow an afm and pump...
hope that helps

is it running good, just slow? like its not spluttering or anything?

How shall i go about checking for boost leaks?
It has thee worst FMIC ive ever seen on it, so i dont even know how to go about checking it

Yea. Im on a budget so I dont know what to buy. I need a rool cage too.. Which doesnt help. Driving test tomoro, so I can finally go around getting bits and pieces from the auto factors and what not, instead of waiting for three weeks for a bolt!

No just feels like ages when its in high revs. Drove normal (whats normal.. I havent even got a road car..) No its seems ok, nothing out of the ordinary, I just feel like I want to drive it on the road for a bit so as I can get the best out of the car, i.e. learn how it drives best on revs etc. flat shifting and what not

get a can of carb spray and spray all the piping joints etc at idle,
if the idle drops you've found a leak

i'd say thats least likely though, if its not spluttering etc.. i reckon wolftowns probably on the money,
I've a spare working standard pump you can have if you get to dub...

prob jus feel slow cos its only boostin at .4...it should be boostin atleast .6....i reckon the turbo's jus runnin out boost too quick an it jus levels off at .4 an feels slow then cos its still not climbin the boost range any higher...get an upgraded pump an knock it up to .9 bar it'll def make alot difference

Yea actually that sounds sorta right. Power for drifting, feathering and clutch kicking, but in a straight line, its like there is no boost at the top of the Rev range....

So fuel pumps anyone?...

No bother,
if it is really is slower than a 320 then its defo not right.
p.s. low fuel presssure on boost will also lower boost pressure somewhat
