Subject: Re: UK : Wanted 9000 Eco power Turbo unit


Hello All, Thank you to Grunf and Andy for their help. I do not have access to ramps or a pit, but I have found that the rod to the waste gate valve was detached. I have managed to re-attach the rod, and now have boost and better MPG. Before re-attachment, I was having trouble keeping up with Pizza delivery scooters LOL. Many Thanks to all for help and support.
