OOPS FMIC Install - Need help

[BeavisJem 0]

ok, today i decided to put my G60 FMIC into my car.

 

Unfortuanly the car now drives as fast as a 5cc scooter.

 

What have i done wrong.

 

Took the slam panel off to fit it nice and simple. Put the rallye Ubend on, Only had the centre bolt. There also needs to be one on the front side but i didn;t one (gettign one friday), would this be the cause of my slow car, could it be massive boost leak. Just feels like the further up the rev range you go the slow and less responsive the car.

 

I also put the bonnet bowden cable on but forgot to tighten the bolt so i can't open the bonnet DOH

 

I also cracked a headlight DOH

 

HELP PLEASE

yeah sounds like big boost leak! do you have a gasket on the u bend?

[BeavisJem 0]

yeah i have the gasket, but i don;t have one of the bolts that holds the u bend on, ony the centre and suppot arm are connected.

do i aboost leak test, spray soapy water on all joins and then shut dumpvalve linkage for 2 secs and look for bubbles.

Think theres a guide in the wiki

It must be a boost leak, when i press the accelerator its hessitant and runs like it hasn;t got a supercharger on it.

 

I would do a boost check but i can;t get the bonnet open :(

Would have thought it was a boost leak, had a similar thing when i refitted my charger in the summer and all it was, the piece of samco off the rsr outlet hadd popped off on one end, therefor a mahooosive boost leak and drivin a bag of poo
