I replaced the turbo intake pipe, and the MAF is attached straight onto this, roughly under the loop in the accelerator cable.

P.S. Noise is more likely to be a boost leak, imho.

boost leak yeah i though that my self so i checked the dump valve was tight on and all seems good, i even tightend the pipe clips sum more but it still makes the noise.... could it be leaking on the FMIC pipe work?

give me a list of all places you could think of and ill test them all on the weekend

cheers steve

im gonna make somthing to test the system for leaks 2day but i need to know what diameter the air intake system is so i can make somthing that will fit snug in the rubber pipe thats there

to check for boost leaks you need soapy water and a spray bottle, spray it over the joints on the pipe work, then rev engine until it comes on boost, the if there is bubbles coming from joint then thats your leak!

You don't produce boost from revving the engine.

so how do you get your boost then

Under load. i.e. when the car is moving under its own power.

Boost isn't controlled by only measuring RPM. Load & TPS etc.... all play a part.
