well after a 4 months of trying to find this problem its finally sorted! turned out to be a collapsed/blocked cat haha. replaced the turbo bk and the up pipe b4 the turbo to a 3" de-cat. while i was on i replaced the turbo as well and wat a difference it has made to the car. definatley keeping it now it makes my face do this

thanks for all the help, next question is will the car need a remap now? and what is safe boost to run on a standard turbo?

cheers

 

In a word yes, done asap and not wise to go driving it around on boost. Mine is set at 1.5 bar but this will be sorted out by your chosen mapper.

 

+1 for the above.

 

ok thanks, best place to get remap done in the north east england (newcastle) and cost? cheers

 

Join a group called 5W on Facebook and put a post up on there. It's a car club based in the north east with a lot of members who can point you in the right direction for a remap

 

cheers dan
