quick question guys ang girls,
i just had a look under the bonnet and have realised the screw from my MBC is missing so can i just get a new screw or will i have to replace the MBC all together?
also whats the potential problems this can cause?

Do you mean the adjuster that tensions the ball and spring? If so then remove that straight away and feed the gate directly as it is more that likely not feeding the actuator at all like that!

yeah the ajuster screw, it still boosts but i guess it isnt safe and the last thing i want to do is mess anything up

It will be leaking boost and not feeding the actuator so your poor turbo is working over time right now due to the gate not opening.
I would avoid boosting it till it's sorted. You'd be better off feeding the actuator straight from the boost pipe for now, you will get wastegate creep but it's much better for your turbo :)

You could just put the pipes back on the bcs, same as standard. Not sure how it managed to unscrew itself out though, vibration I guess.
