Well the engine revs fine kind of anyway. It idles okay but my boost gauge tells me when im getting to 0 psi then loses power. I dont know how to check error codes, dont have the tools. Vacuum advance unit? where can i find that Bitza?

Vacuum advance is on the dizzy.........usually when these crap themselves power is unavailable as the timing is not advanced.........can also cause backfires under a rich mixture.

Do you have a leak between the turbo and airflow meter?

This will make the engine run OK, but stall rapidly under load.

Not as far as im aware there is no leak. Havent heard anythin like it and haven't had any pressure drops until now. Would that stuff out if i was running 15psi lol. How would i replace this and what money am i expecting to fork out lol

Have you been running the one-way valve to the dizzy?

If not, you have probably blown the guts out of the advance unit which can't see boost.

Quick test........attach some tubing, suck on the end and see if the unit moves, should also hold vacuum.

If it's black and pink you have the one way valve.

The engine won't run without centrifugal advance.......it will just lack power, and plenty of it.
