The PRV that looks like a hockey puck is attached to the tip next to the N75.

Remove it and plug the hole with a piece of plastic and secure with jubilee clip

Errr.. might be actually. I'm sure I saw something in the diary over that way. Just get him to check every little pipe that sits under the inlet manifold. Could even be a pinhole but if there is any sign of wet/oil/muck/buildup around those pipes then something is leaking down there.

topher ! if u coming down this way and dont mine checking my boost leak out that will be great , i will most prob be popping up for a re-map after the new year but will rather get it sorted before i get it remap to make life easier for both of us ..
