    So let me get this straight, she is your girlfriend and she was stripping in your work clothes

    A few new shots.

    It's working now, but I still have the problem that the boost won't go any higher, than 0.5bars. Before rebuild it reached even 1.5bars sometimes.
    ( Not original chip, I have the file from maxiboost:
    http://members.lycos.co.uk/maxiboost/
    http://members.lycos.co.uk/maxiboost/Temp/ )
    My other problem is that on idle, fuel pressure is a bit under 2bars.
    Oh, and I have a little oil leak somewhere on the underside of the engine.

    hehe standard is 2.5 bar whit detached vacuum hose check that! i think nothing is wrong. But check it and also if you have boost at 1.4 bar pressure should be set to 3.0 bar whit detached vacuum hose. not boosting could be several problems mine was a faulty temeprature sensor.

    Oh, thanks! I'll check that!
    Do you have any other ideas what else can cause low boost pressure?

    There is no leak, thats sure now!
    I tested the system, so that I plugged the inlet side of the turbo, and I connected an aircompressor on it. I filled it up to 2bars, and the only place where air came out was the oil vapour air filter.
    The pierburg valve is new, so if there is any problem with it, than with it's cable.
    Tomrrow I'll put a signalling led on it, so I can see if it's working while I drive.

    What sensor was wrong in your car? The IAT (= Intake Air Temperature) sensor on the mainfold?

    Thanks!
