Phoned Allards today mate and the dont do a FMIC for the Mk 3 Ibiza 110 as there is apparently no market for one. If anyone wants a FMIC for there Mk 3 Lloyd said that he would be happy to make and fit one as long as a test car is provided.

Yes, it will take a few 10-15 seconds above/below to pop limp mode. A 130 peaking at 30psi??? That is a bit much. a stock 130 should peak around 1.55-1.70bar max on overboost. 30psi is over 2 bar so either your meter is faulty or you might have a problem with the vnt mechanism.
thanks for that info, [B)] I have a slight delay on the vac control, hence the spike:rolleyes:

Boost Controller

Hi,
Also, the vanes in the (vnt) turbo control boost and spikes.

Hi,
Aquote for the people who sell the boost controller "How does it work?
In simplest terms: It prevents boost pressure from opening the turbo's waste gate until the desired preset boost level is reached. Inside the valve is a precision stainless steel ball that is held in place by spring tension. During the turbo's spool-up (as pressure is building) spring tension in the valve is greater than the boost pressure pushing against the ball, so the ball prevents the air from flowing to the wastegate actuator".

A VNT turbo does not have a wastegate actuator as it relies on the vanes to release boost.

injects a small amount of boost into the vac control line:)
