you need to adjust your dawes valve up to 10 0r 14 psi even 16 if you can get it
once you put in th c/can you,l also notice a difference

Hi Have you checked for exhaust restrictions?

Hi Have you checked for exhaust restrictions?

didnt think of that yea the cat might have fell apart

[Zd30223]

I tightened the dawesvalves as far is it could go no improvement will the cat stop it from boosting and how can I check

[Scuba75]

I'd pull off the Dawes valve and make sure it's set at 16psi by using a regulator and compressed. Hop under the car give the cat a good tap (when cold) and see if there are any rattles

you,l have to back the dawes of you might have jamed the bearing into the top of the valve
keep opening it till you get rthe result you want

just tap the cat with a hammer and you,l hear loose stuff in side

Pulled the Dawes valve off put on a regulator popping at 5 psi put a far heavier spring in still 5 psi

[threedogs]

Sometimes spring may need to be strecthed 4mm , try using small S/S washers to increase boost
