Default You will never guess it

Now the story starts with my esccos...

I have had some serius problems with the car in about 2 months, with the engine management...
Whwn i rev it up to about 3-4000rpm, it shuts down with a REALY LOUD BANG, and i have to re-start it again.... it does this under load, under light load and with or without boost...

Now my gues was for starters : the mapsensor... i changed that one... error still there...
Secondly, the blue or brown sensor( because it`s pretty heavy to start when the engine is cold) changed them too... error still there...
Changed the leads, coil, plugs, etc etc.... error still there...
Talked to woodford, bought an new P8 boks on E-BAY... got it to day.... error still there....

WTF!?!?!?!?


Then suddently i thougt---my car is fitted with an 2wd-manifold and turbodamper from baily, and the exhaust is ratteling a little bit when i rev the engine, could it be????

OH YES, i turned the baily damper 1/2 a turn, then it got tight, drove a nice long trip, and the foult was gone... SOMEBODDY SLAP ME!!!!!!

So remember folks.... ALWAYS check if your damper sits tight...
