Got car back from motormech yesterday.... head gasket sorted!!
When it was apart the head was skimmed ... again, and also i got paul to port my inlet manifold as this wasn't done when head was!
Anyway i've noticed that on idle the boost gauge used to read between -6 & -7, but now it only goes to -5 on my guage???
Is this anything to do with having head skimmed or manifold ported, i'm thinking there may be MORE pressure in the inlet as the head been skimmed!??
