Folks, just wondering if you've experienced this issue yourselves...

Car (Smart BRCX) doesn't seem to be building boost as it did a while ago, seems to hold boost @ about 1.0 Bar, will spike to 1.3(ish) but will rapidly settle back to 1.0..

Popped the boot after a quick sprint running on boost and the chargecooler was hot, as in I wouldn't want to leave my hand there, hot to the touch..

I'm thinking potentially I have a chargecooler issue of some description, the pre-rad is cool to the touch, I'm not sure whether the pre-rad fan is at fault as it wasn't on...

Any thoughts folks?

Cheers,

slinky
