Default removing manual boost controller

with my suspected problem being boost related, ive decided to remove the controller fitted by the previous owner, but being non mechanically minded, and skint I need it done on the cheap or guided wisely.

Any takers? LOL

Mate if you can get up to Antrim over the weekend I will do it for you pretty easy task just involves replacing the vacuum tubing to remove the manual bleed valve then replacing the boost set up with the new electronic controller it just fits in between the turbo outlet and wastegate actuator

Cheers Rab, now last night I turned it up the tiniest little fraction that appears to have cured the hesitation. I'll get a look thru that link once I get home
