    i finally got round to replacing the fuel pump on my awd, i can confirm it is a massive pain in the arse and one i won't be rushing to do again

    the car still seems to have a lack of power, i think i can hear a boost leak somewhere

    I'd take a look at that hose to the throttle body that Chris had an issue with as I believe it's a common issue.
