Hmm, If you have changed the plugs and it runs fine at low boost but not high, coil packs and leads next.

See if you can get a single coil pack and you can swap it one at a time so you know which one is knackered.

Did you make sure the gaps on the new plugs were set right? They are a cooler running spec as well i presume?

Set the gap to .7mm and that should be fine.

It certainly could be a gapping or spec problem, the higher boost stops the spark making the gap. What spec plugs did you put in?
Hotter plugs and a bigger gap would certainly do this.

Yep. They are standard heat range plugs but to be honest, they are new and should not be causing problems at ~1 bar.

Check the gaps (although they should come pre-gapped) and then it is going to be leads and/or coil packs i am afraid.

Weebl do you believe this to be the case...

No.

Fuel pump is good for a fair bit more than a bar boost, unless it is completely knackered.

Hi Weebl

I do not understand why it is holding back after 1 Bar as is "motorboy's".. As with the standard Ecu I can run up to 1.2 bar nearly 1.3 with out any fuel cuts at all..

It feels just like a fuel cut but at 1 bar... with the Ralliart ECU (RA420996R1)

What else could it be then?

Dave

Could be a problem with the ECU.
