Well reading back @Enuo and @h701micra are no fun in the last few comments.
I took the turbo out for a thrashing...
Missed her.. so much so she i pissing more and more oil out the turbo seals... such fun!
Not sure if to rebuild or hold out for bigger turbo. Too Late just bought a 360 bearing kit.
She needs a oil change and filter change too me thinks... naughty I think I changed it a year ago... but she looses enough oil from the turbo to need to be topped up enough, she pretty much has new oil all the time
Just bought some aftermarket fans for her.. two 12inch blowers... should look a bit mean.
ermmm.. oh I thought I blew a feking ringland again... apparently not... throttle cable was letting up... revs were darting all over the place when boost came on, throttle cable becoming taught and then not soo taught when the boost fluctuated and rolled the engine to give a strange drive.
Stuff.

have you ever had the issue of instable revs at high end... I really struggle to keep the revs high and the car going at a stable speed... the motor like jolts back and forward...

Could be the plugs giving up, are they colder plugs than stock?

Only because I had a fueling issue with my carbs at full whack. But yours has been mapped to suit? :/
The jolting will be the engine pitching I'd guess. Thats a fair chunk of weight to throw about

Might be a small tear to us but 150hp might say differently.
It'd pitch violently... causing jolty car
