Dont use a bleed valve! they are leathal with boost spikes. Get a Ball and spring boost controller from ebay for £15.

I know thats the general consensus but I went from using a proper dawes device back to a bleed valve as they ball and spring was just so bloody agressive coming on boost. You have to remember that a stripped 205 (like mine is) will weigh anything between 800-850kg, having 220+lbft come in with a bang through 195 section front tyres is pretty hardwork. Mine will spin them up coming on boost in 4th in the wet if you dont feather the throttle, not becuase there is that much power but because it comes in so hard which is a trait of the ball and spring type boost controllers.

I have found a bleed valve set to about a bar will come in much more progressively and will only overshoot to about 1.1 bar briefly then drop down again. Aslong as you set it up with a boost gauge and keep an eye on it they are fine generally. I just prefer the slighty softer power delivery they give, the ecu controlled solenoid is best but without remapping the ecu which is expensive or having a standalone ecu you cant really use it effectively unless you run at 7psi (standard boost).

Fair enough. Next step up would be an electronic boost controller. I have a Greddy Profec B Spec II and its great, you can change how quick and hard the boost comes it by changing what pressure it starts to open the wastegate as well as adjusting the boost consistency and safety limits.

I have booked my first trackday at Brands next Wednesday, I have bought some Yokohama 048s.

Any tips for prepping the car? I'll check the levels, oil , coolant etc.

Do I adjust the spax suspension up to a hard setting?

Any ideas on starting tyre pressures?

How do chaps, due to space etc I am thinking of selling my mighty pug, if any one is interested send me a PM or mail me at [e-mail] I am looking around the £2k mark.

If you decide to keep it, I agree with the previous post about an electronic boost controller. I use an HKS EVC II and it controlls the boost so well. No spikes, no dropping off, just perfect, well handled, BOOST!!!!!

I have decided to sell the Pug as I am too busy with my bike racing, I ran it at Brands a few months ago and did some 58 sec laps so goes well!

It will have a years MOT and comes with spares etc.

I'm looking for £1750 for it, the car is based in Kent. If your interested drop me a e mail at

I could be interested in this, but wont have the cash for about a month, I'll be checking to see if it's sold by then.

The car is just having a new door fitted and painted as some stupid bloody women reveresed into when I was giving it a wash!

So it will have a nice new door too!

I will put a proper advert up on PH for it but drop me a e-mail if your interested in it.

No test pilots!
