Welcome to your new mistress.
She'll reward big-time.
Also got a lovely Black/Red 1984 'A' Suzuki GSX550EFE for the occasional, warm scratch.
Welcome to a brilliant forum.

Welcome to the mad house...

Lots of bikers/ex bikers on here.....my nephew still races bikes and reckons the coupe accelerates like one (I'm assuming he means one with an engine...not pedals)

Good luck with your coupe

Jon

What is the spec of your Coupe?

1.5 bar is too much for the standard turbo. If you car is standard it's likely that the ECU controlled boost valve had failed, which is why you're seeing 1.5 bar.

shocked 1.5 bar is on the strong side for even modded specced coops. What Gunzi said ^^^^ +1
