I have 235/70s on my D1 in Sunbury if you wanted to swap/try one evening. Cheers.

If you can't find anything Gord then we'll have a look at it in Belgium and try a couple of basic tweeks to the injector pump to see if it makes any difference.
You can alway put it back if it doesn't work or you find another problem. :wink:

That sounds like an offer I can't refuse :wink: :D

I'm not clear on the pipes - have you actually checked that none of the pipes are split or delaminating.
I'd have thought that was the very first thing to check. When my pipe from the intercooler had a small split I lost power just like you and blew black smoke just like you.
I also know these pipes do delaminate quite readily but Allisport will have mentioned this I'm sure.

I have taken most of them off and checked - I would assume that I wouldn't get full boost (1 bar) if any leaks existed? I certainly didn't when a jubillee clip broke :shock:

It appears to be low on power but it's not blowing excessive smoke.

There was no obvious sign of problems with the pipes, although they are very soft - but then, they might be like that off the shelf :?
