After a very careful hose-off and inspect mission, I found that the little stub
that connects the turbo to the IC metal pipeduct had blown a neat
hole (it was the only silicon hose on the car also !!!).
After a short test it was still definately dropping a cyclinder in all of the mid range, although the boost was behaving properly.....under normal boost.
The ignition is all running ok, but I have some suspicions about the Bosch LE-2, after swapping the rail...dodgy to one of the cyclinders, made worse by the induction leak.......
She ain't well...puffing some white smoke at exhaust manifold (and through exhaust)..and I have spotted some oil leakage on the top of the exhaust
manifold gasket join...don't know where it's comin from exactly yet.
Avanti tuners (Fiat specialists) who are nearish, have suggested a burnt valve
or piston may be the main problem....
any thoughts ???
looks like I have to take the head off....as if i needed that !
