also the range computer works the opposite way. When downhill the range drops significantly and when standstill or idle or when i trash it it goes up

Is the DTC or engine COG light on..? With the EGR valve disconnected, it will throw a fault code and can sometimes go into limp mode.
You'll not pass your next MOT with the EGR valve not working. They check for fitment and function now.

Also as knobby said, has the fuel filter been changed recently? Could be a clogged filter causing fuelling problems.

Knobby should be able to confirm this as he knows the 140's better but that boost pressure seems low to me... My 100ps runs at 30psi (2bar)Bertie90 wrote:daraioj wrote:I would start by looking at live data (while driving) of boost pressure, fuel rail pressure, MAF reading, etc and see if anything seems abnormal.

Boost pressure runs between 16 and 21, and when I cruise at 70pmh it sits at 16psi
What's the pressure i need to look for on the fuel rail?
Yes filter was changed 1 month ago and also a brand new MAF and nothing changed

140's have a VNT turbo right? I would check the actuator is working properly and also check for leaks, split pipes, etc
Sorry knobby, are we talking absolute pressure or actual boost? When I said 2 bar I meant absolute. It's boosting 1 bar.knobby1 wrote:daraioj wrote:Knobby should be able to confirm this as he knows the 140's better but that boost pressure seems low to me... My 100ps runs at 30psi (2bar)

The standard 140 doesn't boost more than ~21-22 psi, my "mapped" 140 does about 25psi at full load....so I think his turbo and boost pipes etc are ok....can't hurt to check though.

No, absolute pressure is written as psia. I have a boost guage on my beast and it's in psig or guage pressure, not absolute.
If your readings are in psia, I'd suggest there may be an issue. 1 Bar boost absolute is well below what it should be.
