well you seemed happy with that when you came back from your test drive :grin:

it pulled very strong despite that split breather and n249 issue - it's a shame i couldn't sort that for you but getting parts on a saturday is impossible! Change or bypass the n249 and if you're still getting that noise on lift-off give me a shout and i'll sort you out an uprated DV. Let me know how you get on either way - and have fun at the 'ring!

kind of a fluttering noise - hard to describe but not the usual failed DV (i pressure tested the dv) noise which i describe as a pigeon sneezing. More like wastegate chatter caused by the fault in the n249 that vagcom picked up.

hello! Wanna say a big thanks to everyone at R-tec! Its completely transformed the car!

The breather pipe and n249 are on order from vw so will sort that this week then hopefully all is good for the ring!

Thanks again!
