if you need one i have a fully working s2 amal valve


in experiance with boost probs on rsts its been plug and lead related, id also look for leaking hoses, colapsing hoses, timing , co levels etc all basic stuff but never say its a newish set of plugs/leads cant be that

some just give up the ghost so early its unreal

im no expert but every little helps aye
