It might have to all come back out yet :sad:

At least I have an understanding mate who lets me use his facilities

Looking good wazzzer
Hope you get it sorted soon! Do you use a new gasket?
Shifter looks  :cool: where you find it?

Yeah new gaskets all round (which will need buying AGAIN)

Shifter was off Ebay, it comes with or without the stainless gearknob, £30 or £40 respectively.

Well, I'm home...

Car didn't miss a beat all the way back but I made sure I didn't run ANY boost all the way home. Hit 45mpg too :laugh:

Hopefully I can get the TIP off tomorrow and see how the bearings in the turbo feel, then some investigation can begin
