Long story short:
For many months struggling with single issue - retarded timing after about 3k RPMs. It does run completely fine until full boost kicks in and rpms reaches ~3k, then actual timing drops and keeps jumping below requested.
If throttle is pushed just a little bit, i can get to max RPMS without any issues.
During all that time trying to find out root cause of issue changed like 3 pumps and broke 3 pump heads because plunger simply got seezed.
Main idea was lack of fuel at high RPMs. Since then fuel lines replaced from 8mm stock to 14mm, all restriction valves in tank completely removed. Now it is just clear 14mm hose from pump to tank.
All this work made slight improvements, but still timing is retarded, boost keeps flickering together with timing and totally no power because of that.
Case pressure in the pump is slightly above recommended. 8bar at idle and 13 WOT.
I believe that adjusting relief valve would improve timing performance, but then case pressure would be too high.
Did the tests without liftpump. With Mesmer 0.1bar 75LPH and pierbung 0.5bar 180LPH. Results are close to same except that pierburg produces to much pressure. at idle raised to 10bar with squeezing noise from pump. switched back to mesmer.
Timing without liftpump at all was close to the same, with only difference after 2/3/4 gears WOT pushing the clutch and engine stopped. had to roll in gear quite a big distance to get it up and running again.
Timing belt is set correctly.
Any ideas?

- 0.370 injectors
- 12mm pump head
- Liftpump
