    Running hot?

    Replacement boost hoses?

    I've just put the T5 back on the road after smoking around in a Clio sport for a while, and I'd forgot about the boost issues I was having before.

    To break or not to break, tis the question!

    I'm at an end with my T5, problem after problem and still needing work doing. It's simply not cost effective for me to keep plowing money into it. I'd have another in a heartbeat, but it'd be more...
