A little black smoke in certain points of the rev range is normal, and if you're not getting *any* coupled with lack of low down power says to me lack of fuelling.SamWise wrote:So, I'll check all the turbo ducting and hoses, etc. I'm also interested in the need to adjust the on-boost fuelling. I'm sure I can find the control, but one post above seemed to suggest that there SHOULD be black smoke under hard acceleration. Is that right? The car will do the job just fine as it is, but I'd love to have all the performance it has to offer!
Once you have hit 2200 rpm the car should pull vigorously, and you shouldn't need to rev it for power. After you have this sorted it will be a whole new car; except for under 2000 rpm the car should be really rather lively, and effortless to drive.
