I do seem to have a slight issue with an intermittent loss of power under some conditions (but I have only driven for 30km so far, with icy rain!!!). I'm possibly having an issue with the ALDA, I expect it's full of oil and crude, so I'll drive it a bit, see how it goes and will later on remove the intake flap, EGR and clean intake manifold, then do ALDA and reassemble.
Thanks to gsxr for this thread, it was really helpfull.

The intake flap and the EGR actuator were still hooked up even though I had made the conversion to a pressure type wastegate actuator.
Today I have unplugged both intake flap and EGR: now I have a steady 14 psi with any rpm above 2800-3000. And soon after 2000 rpm it gets to 10psi, so it makes all the difference in the world in terms of power!
Now thats a great car to have!
Thanks again GSXR for this thread!
