How frustrating, since the weather had held off I checked my pipes and noticed a rubber pipe was not attached to the metal boost pile with a good seal. I tried reconnecting the clip but the metal boost pipe itself was broken slightly so the clip didn't stay in place. The pipe was located drivers side just under the cam belt. Took her for a test and I heard it pop off. Managed to crawl to s garage who put her on a ramp, they screwed the pipe together (metal to metal) for free btw. Said I should not need to replace it now. Told me to allow a few trips for the ECU to register new airflow pattern but all should be fine if not better now!!
Btw I found a website who state it's not best to re set the ECU as the values already stored in the ram will be tailored accordingly and adjusted quicker than starting from scratch. Hopefully this time next week I will be raving about how much over boost i have lol
I don't see a issue personally resetting the ECU. When you reset it, it will clear the fuel trim firgures which is good in my view if you have been suffering from vac leaks, overfuelling and fixed the issue etc. as you will not have to wait ages for it to adjust itself.
What does the car idle at?, does the rev counter hunt (move up/down on idle), does the car bottom out when you when you come to stop?
The pipe you are referring to (could be wrong) sounds like the pancake pipe which hooks into the front cooler. Check the elbow connection at the bottom of the cooler and see if there is any oil residue, does the pipe slack easy?
Pancake pipe may be the one causing the issue. I doubt you will see any movement on it unless the car is under load which is hard to as you have to be driving or on rollers.
