Title: Finally gave in and leaving the experts to it!!! UPDATE HELP!!!!
Post by: bigmarky on 21 May 2012, 13:45
Well today I finally gave in and sent the golf off on the back of a low loader to get sorted, the past 6 weeks of trying to sort boost issues out has got me beat, after replacing the MAF, trying/testing 4 n75 valves, replacing all boost and breather hoses with silicone ones, de catting, changing a cracked exhaust manifold, changing fuel pump, finding out oil and damaged the existing silicone tip and then replacing that, to finally having an injector or injector wiring fault I've sent it off to get sorted once and for all before it bankrupts me or is found as a torched shell at the bottom of my street. Owing a golf turbo ain't cheap so keeping everything crossed it comes back working and with some healthy bhp figures to boot!!!

Cheers, there's one 2 mins from my house so if it's a decent part worth sticking in seeing it could save me a few quid
