EGTS Up Why?

[10G]

Just checked the rod. It's up with vac and goes up and down when I remove the actuator vac hose, moved quite freely. Couldn't hear that noise I mentioned.

Did some tests the other night, forgot to put the figures up.

I get around 18psi doing 130 in 4th or 5th, can't remember. EGTs were in mid to high 400s.

Sitting in 5th at 100km/h I get around 10psi with EGTs mid 300s. I'm sure boost used to be up around 13 psi at 100, but it's not bad I guess.

Here's a pic of how far my Dawes is screwed in:

Could that indicate that something's maybe not plugged into the correct spot or some other fault/error?

Doesn't give me much room to play with.

And this is how I have the vacsol hooked up:

That lower left hose is bent over and clipped with a zip tie.

Is that all blocked off correctly?
