Yup looks like a break through to me.

Best ring Rufe - he could prob get you one in the post by tomorrow. A bit of duct tape will keep you going till then.

Its the top hose off the Idle air control valve, the smaller of the two as the bigger one also connects to the top of the intercooler.

WOOHOO im so happy. just went to car corner shop and got a bit of bent pipe and cut it to fit till i get propper one. im now running just under 12 psi boost, the gear change problem i had has gone and the car wasnt this fats even when i bought it.

oh thank god. i am literaly grinning fom ear to ear.

the ecceleration actuly scared me after i put new pipe on.

thanks everybody for puting up with me and helping me.

if you want more boost mate buy an mbc manual boost control. but you need to fit a boost gauge first so you no what boost you are running otherwise you could do damage

this is the mbc i just bought havnt fitted mine yet tho. obviously mine was for a T-5R but these ones fit all anyways.

so whats on the next to buy list then lol

well the car is perfect apart from i need to get the nuts to fit the koni rear but thats not important at the mo. already have the mbc so will fit that when i get a chance. only thing to buy now is the 7 seat conversion. then maybe a good air filter. but othere than that im pretty much happy now i have found the cause to all my problems was one blooody pipe LOL

[jonno12]

always the way mate i find its always the cheaper thing that goes wrong that you find last lol

[jonno12]

if you want more boost mate buy an mbc manual boost control.

It's not that simple, an MBC only works on pre-ME7 cars.

C70portree, do you know which engine management your car has? If you're not sure, what year is the car?

[yellowt5r]

why bother with an mbc i found it too aggressive and all you get is wheelspin again its cost but remap would be the way to go imo

[jonno12]

it should get through but theres always yhe thought that theres somink lerkin
