P_is_for_Paul knows a LOT about these cars, he's a serious griffin-head, so could be worth sending him a PM.


Cheers,

Its seemed to have had a forged engine and staight through pipe decat etc etc by the previous owner... When you drive it the car seems to splutter as soon as you get boost, i was told it was the air mass sensor i replaced it still no luck, diagnostic showing nothing. When u unplug the air mass the car drives fine would it be worth while changing the boost pressure sesnor
