Evening people,
I picked up my '02 shogun sport on Saturday, and on the drive back from Hertfordshire to Andover, all was good, apart from when over seventy (five-ish ), and it feels a little like it was being fuel starved/limited.
Now, I've been trawling this (great) forum, and it seems I may be pushing it a little hard, does that sound a fair presumption, and I need to modify my driving style a little.
Initially I thought (again, after reading up on here) that the turbo needed the boost reducing to sort this, and set off to do that today but found the bolts all looking like they are in the 'factory' position 9 threads top, two bottom.
Pics soon, after finishing the clean up |

Hi and welcome to the forum!
I don't have a 2.5 Sport, so can't comment with any authority on your feeling that it's being fuel starved at over 75 mph. On my 2.8 Challenger concern for both my wallet and eardrums has kept me below such dizzy speed.
I look forward to seeing your pics in due course. You will need to post a few times before you can upload pics, as you may have realised already.
Hope you enjoy owning your Sport. |

Thanks buddy, was bought just up the road from you, in Hemel, where my old man lives, and where I'm from originally! |

Shame you're not still local. There's a very good Challenger/Sport self-help group here! |

Could be as simple as the fuel filter needs changing |

Got my EGR blanking kit today, very good quality, and clear instructions, except...................there is no direction as to what to do with the electrical plug connection from the top of the EGR valve after removal.
Any pointers please people? |

Thinking probably of 16" modular steel wheels, rather than alloys! |

Not fitted yet. Still waiting to find out what to do with the electrical plug connector after removing. |
