Re fitted catch can, deleted pcv system as per how to guide.

Now shes in limp, wont boost past 5psi.
Only code is 17705, no obvious leaks, holds 5psi smoothly, no fluctuation at all.

Will pressure test tomoz...... Feckin golf!

Found the fecker!!!!

Split pipe under inlet manifold, repaired and leak tested again.

Since deleting the pcv system the system is as air tight as a nuns cu+t!

Looking forward to ripping it up on the way home!
