Get your lambda sensor checked at the very least, sounds like your motor went into "shutdown" mode which happens more to tuned cars after some prolonged spirited driving ;)

Good job it didn't happen when the Toyota was right behind you:eek: Or you would be looking at a hefty body repair bill for 2 cars:( :cool:

Was Harry Potter driving the Toyota? You've got to be careful racing wizards, looked what happened to LnL he used to be a Rastafarian . :eek:

well i have forund out the problem it is the valve that lets the boost back in to the eng after you the been at the top end of the revs aprently it puts all the bost in to the supper charger and when you go back to idle speed it is ment to open and let the boost out in to the engine but mine did not do this so not a big prob :D :D :D

thats me a happy chappie again :D i know my car is ok and i get to keep her with out a big bill ;)
