Yes, I have 2 of them in my garage. A 208 GTB (34183) and a 208 GT4 (12252). Not the thrill of a 308, but nice to have something different. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

What I get from this is that you must be extremely careful that the waste gate maintains constant control (limiting) of the boost. The very last thing you want is to have a problem whereby the boost spikes under hard acceleration. As Mont says, the symptoms here would be a phenomenal surge in power upon acceleration, surpassing what you are accustomed to, followed by major engine damage. The example I will cite here is for a modified 308 QV: Boost was originally set to 14 psi and subsequently reduced to a very modest 4 psi (this made 291 RWHP on a Dyno). After not driving the car regularly, I discovered that this had changed to over 8 psi. I felt this on hard acceleration and immediately looked at the gauge. Time to check/adjust the waste gate! I guess the bottom line is to drive these cars regularly (a terrible job, but someone has to do it!) and test for max boost every now and again. Best, John.
Reading this thread I am more and more learning about the ins and outs of my '86 GTB. Owning this car now for a year and driven some km's it is nice to read other experiences. Even better, I would love drive the GTB right now! Grtzz, Robin
