redex  :huh: that is worst crap made by man  :grin:

give it a oil change if needs be .. scan for fault codes..check boost pipes any splits etc.. but wherever you get it remaped they will check pipes and scan it for you..if they dont then there sh!t

oh and get some v power in there tesco is to do shopping not fueling  :wink:

Maf,n75 and as said boost hoses and breather hoses a good remapping place would pick up on these before remapping.need a strong actuator and a good clutch as if its on its way out a map will finish it off.

had mine done at r tech,when i rang and asked first of all they said common probs were maf,n75 and actuator so i got new maf and n75 and took chance on actuator.but id already fitted uprated boost hoses you could prob get a set for £70 a good investment imo.like you say ring them and see wot they say.i think they have mafs and n75 valves there.
