i dont understand why itll pull away in reverse but not reverse makes no sense...

does the car rev freely at idle? it does sound like he's broken something and knock something! lol

from what I'm getting the car will NOT rev freely sounds as though it's running on choke he said, regarding the reversing bit he says the car will try and drive in reverse BUT if put into 1st to try forward it just dies and the revs on tick over is up and down 1500-0 0-500 so it's a bit IRATIC.

will get/have more info 2morrow now

did he fill the car with water as if he took the turbo off it will lose water and doing it in a car park is ther any water taps as you know the blue sensor runs off the water system to adjust the fuelig if iam correct as its a mangment sensor

If you pull the downpipe back hard enough whilst fitting new turbo it will hit the wireing and maybe disturb the multiconnectors that feed the injectors etc.

Don't ask me how I know this

went down to Kent and the car was ticking over,would rev but sort of holding back and popping all he did was turn the screw on the ecu and it began to run fine and u could drive it with no problem told him to go and get it set up properly now asap!

is that strange or what?
