My second CDI seems to be NOT as peppy as my first one, and also is "rolling coal" at hard acceleration. My first one would set you back in the seat kinda like one of those roller coasters that use magnets to propel the cars (California Screamin'), with no evidence of black smoke whatsoever. This one is a little lackluster in the acceleration department, and belches out black smoke in the process. Anyone know what might be the problem? I suspect a wastegate not sealing or opening too soon or something like that, but not exactly sure. Is there any live data that I can retrieve with my Icarsoft MBII that would be helpful (still not sure how to navigate through all the screens). I don't doubt the turbo is working, as it does accelerate pretty good, but nothing like the other one. Thanks in advance, Rich
