I've got a cheap boost gauge for sale if your after one  :smiley:

have you, please tell me more about it, and how much it is  :smiley:

No ones mentioned actuator yet  :wink:

do you run a standard or aftermarket?

If its standard, it could well possibly be this as the spring weakens over time, allowing the waste gate to open prematurely etc



I still have the standard one on it, and my car is a 2001 model. Don't problems with it show up on the code reader then? Do you know if there is any way of checking to see if the actuator is at fault ?

I'm down your way soon for a holiday  :wink:

What Weymouth for the Olympics by any chance!  :smiley:
