Hi Martijn,
Sorry for not having replied to your last email.
I'm also thinking about a turbo problem. Maybe the turbo is on it's way out (would explain the slow charging) or the mbc is not setup properly (it looks like you tried hard to make it work so it is probably ok)
Are you telling me you only get 0,7bar with the wastegate actuator disconnected? That would probably mean your wastegate stays open.

Hi Xav, No problem, as long as i am not paying you for your advice I get 1,5 bar with the wastegate actuator disconnected, and boost rises fast. (so i suppose that is correct). If i were to have a external wastegate, i could check if it was working properly with idling the car and checking if the wastegate-exhaust gets hot. But, since this is a internal wastegate, this wont work.

Okay, i have removed the Actuator, and will be replacing it with a different one soon. Man... thats a real pig to fit when everything is on the car!
Ill keep everyone posted if this is the solution, altho i also have bought a T34 cosworth turbo, but that will go on in the new year.

Ok, new actuator on: Boost comes in around 2800 RPM! Thats like 1500 RPM earlier! So problem fixed, car feels more powerfull now too (probably because it was leaking boost all the time). Finally, after 8 months, i know how a coupe 16VT is supposed to drive.. love it Thanks all for your thoughts!

A T34 60 trim cosworth turbo... But driving it around today for 150 km's made me actually love the original set-up! Spools up so fast!
So.. I might let this rest and just give it a big service + clutch + le bodykit and keep the turbo in the closet until i am ready for more power!

Meh... probably not! But i decided that i first go with a new clutch and a good checkup for 2010. Also id really like the side skirts to be done, and the front lips or a PIU bumper.

I would say possibly wastegate sticking open, as mine used to do the exact opposite, I thought I had some sort of aftermarket turbo, but apparently haven't, the actuator wasn't working, so it was shut all the time. Gave superb spool up... Now it has a working actuator, it spools slower but feels a better car to drive. I would say for slow spool, it's open to whatever degree all the time. You did say if you disconnect it spool is good, might be worth trying another actuator to test. Or have I missed a post on here somewhere...? Ah yes, I have you've replaced the actuator and it's fine. <ahem> sorry!
