Fitted the power flow turbo back today sounds nice turbo spools quicker but it's louder and so is the misfire would a knackered turbo core cause this? Been offered a k03s minimal play in the core/impeller £50 is it worth getting as a back up in case it is the turbo causing these problems ?

Only found this out due to a friend of mine asking around and about 5-6 different people said the same thing they recon you wouldn't change the head unless your already running around 300bhp and wanting more power and to run that power you obv have to have a map get it checked so that's what I did obviously 2 owners befor got another 1.8t and transferd all the stuff over but head was to big of a job so left it on with the mapped ecu is what they all are saying I appreciate all who had a input in this thread and helped me get to the bottom of this problem
