You need to post up pics with the various pipes labelled. That way it'll be easier to say "that pipe should go to there...", etc......

Hmmm, sounds like overboosting, not sure you would get that if the pipes were in the wrong place tbh.
Does the car have any modifications?
Is there a boost gauge fitted and if so what does it read?

My bro's waiting for del of a nearly new Land Rover. It's been held up for weeks because of a problem with rough running. After much scratching of heads by main dealers, etc., it was eventually found to have a vac pipe associated with the turbo fitted incorrectly.

could well be the problem then.will have to get it parked alongside another one and do it the same if know one got a diagram

Can't you post any pics up?

Rick, who exactly has told you they're not going "to the right places"? As has already been said, the easiest thing you could do right now to help us to help you would be to photograph the turbo compressor/wastegate actuator area and the boost control/sensor pack on the offside front suspension turret and post up the pics. We'll be able to tell you straight away what's right or not.

a bloke i know showed me his and his go to different places to mine basically.while i was there i couldnt swap them all around as all my spare vaccuum hose were at home.maybe have to go see him later in the week to copy his i think.

hi i would like to point out that i had this engine fitted by a subaru specialist as you know you have the receipt for this and so i cant see them being wrong i did not have this problem when i owned it mate so think you might be barking up the wrong tree. the other car you looked at could be a 98 or older in which case the engine changed slightly in 99 so could be piped up differently, just a thought mate!

rickbartlett

alrite chap,my mates car exact same model,and reg,ive changed them about and it doesnt do it now,strange really that u hadnt noticed it as it was doin it on the way home from yorkshire lol,oh well it sorted now chap.howz the van? i still havnet received logbook for scooby yet
