Well todays update;

I found the ST to be down on boost and decided to check the hoses and fit my new Roose turbo to intake hose along the way.

So started this morning at 11am and removed the sypomser as found a damaged pipe there yesterday. Long story short I hacked the pipe out and blanked off the symposer, tried the car and found didnt drive right in my eyes.

So was booked in at 3pm for a new pair of rear Yoko Parada Spec 2's as had no AD08's in stock

Whilst their I whipped off my blocked pipe and got a nice red Samco hose and Forge blanking plug - retried and drove slightly better but missed the interior noise so the Symposer had to go back on in my opinion.

Anyway got lucky and the Samco hose I had left was the right shape and just needed a chop down in order to fit 8)

I also dumped the massive air filter and dropped back to a slightly smaller one

So cue my jobs have just finished;

After a quick roadtest the car is better but think a new Turbo Boost Solenoid would be alot better on and see how it goes
