    gt issues

    i was driving from uni to home today and i noticed my car was being rather hesitant say if i was going 70 and over it just wouldnt boost or go any faster and started to sound like it was going to misfire, however if i lift off the accelerator gently it would just go naturally.

    also got a boost issue it sometimes only goes to about 5-6psi and at best 10-11psi running pbv.

    Help, i recon its a knackered tubby tbh.

    I just got smoked by a focus 1.8 petrol ((

    sticky dv its fine if i let the accelerator go its if im doing motorway miles at a specfic rpm has a little sweet spot for opening slightly, doesnt cause the car to do anything dodgy just bloomin irritating.

    pretty sure its just idle without opening the bonnet.
