    Thanks alll.

    Nearest Dyno is probably 2000kms away in Adelaide.

    I did some checking today and found the main cause I think. I have a dawes valve fitted and thought I would remove it start back to basics. It did nothing.

    So thought this was strange as was expecting boost to be up. The I found to my horror both vacum hoses off the ECU soleniod, with one nipple actaully broken.
    So I bypassed it all and plugged back in Dawes Valve. Boost back up, I havent driven it yet, but expect EGT to be a lot lower.

    I just hope that there is no long term damage running high EGT and low boost. I cant afford another 12k for engine etc.

    I have a Provent installed and really shocked on how much oil came out of the hose.
