Right bought a 5 not that long ago off some fellow everything went sweet etc and i'm very happy with my purchase. I'm just wondering what i need to do to up the boost a little? it doesn't have a boost adjuster it's set up at actuator arm thing is the man basically said hed set it from 19 psi to 10 psi just because in his own opinion if it's my first 5 then chances are running 19 i'll be running myself into a wall, i was just curious can i just turn it back up or do i need to get the fueling and etc checked? it's been jetted. any help would be very appreciated

Yo folks i posted a topic in newbies but thought i'd make a post in this section My name's Jay I'm 19 and from the wirral, merseyside! My main interest is cars but i'm currently going to college doing counselling hoping to help children with learning difficulties in school since the lack of support for kids with mental disorders is shocking, not that anyone wants to hear my sob story but my education was destroyed by the lack of support i had in school. Anyywayss i've lived here my whole life and could count the number of 5's i've seen on one hand i've always been interested in Renault 5's since about the age of 7 when my friends dad had a mint tungy gtt, anyways after getting shut of my 1.2 heritage i went in search of a gtt, found one in scotland which was a big drive for me, put a deposit down everything and the dude rang me the night before saying his girlfriend had crashed it  (timewaster) Then i purchased a Raider off here i think it was owned by killaklownkris but it popped 2 miles down the road from the guys house so i pushed it back round and got my money back, lost my deposit on insurance along with the first time anyways i was very putoff 5's by this but still wanted one, i put my clio up for sale with the intentions of getting an oldschool ford but on the part ex i put "raider" and funnily enough 1 day before my advert was set to expire i got a message offering a straight swap on a raider so i snapped the guys hand off, i'll post some more pics when i get time as i'm trying to source an underlight trim at the mo as some delinquents have snapped mine off, looking foward to settling into the r5gtt community hope you all welcome me with loving arms :lol:

EDIT: yes that is kermit the frog peepin out the back

Hey folks whatup been browsing the site for a few years now and finally registered, i'm 20 and from the wirral Always loved 5's since a young age and finally got one, it took a while though, i first planned to get one up near dundee but the fella text me the night before going up saying his girlfriend had crashed it so that was abit shit. 2nd time round i bought a raider it was mint, fella took me out for a spin and everything shook the guys hand and drove off, got about 2 miles and it blew the top rad hose, engine still ran but it was most likely baked as i seen it on pistonheads with a full rebuild 600 pound cheaper :@ i did get my money back though:) Recently bought G567HAB if anyone knows of it i was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to help me raise the boost a little? it's running 10psi according to the bloke who sold me it but apparently it's capable of 19. it doesn't have and in car adjuster or that and i don't want to run 19 i was thinking around a bar psi which is 13.5or14.5? could anyone help me out here detailed pictures would be much appreciated ~ Jay
