does anyone have any idea. what all the boost pipes for the turbo are. so i can check them all

i seem to have a little oil around all the injectors.

i dont have any issues with running idling or when its warm. just sometimes when it pulls past 2k revs it stutters.

on the motorway its perfect as well

right the car is playing up now even on the motorway if you put your foot down you get a miss before it kicks down

i have replaced all the vacuum hoses as they were falling to bits with decent clips. it does feel like its revving better but still playing up a little.

does anyone know where i can get this pipe thats split? i have looked around but no luck



driving to london and back with gaffer tape and battery overflow pipe to use for the vaccum shows how bullet proof these cars are.

the whoosh sound is coming from the front of the engine. i did checkl the pancake pipe but the sounds nowhere near there. i have tried to check as many pipes as possible and except the vacuum and the pipe above all seem ok.

such a shame that many people have issues as these are great cars

i have no fault codes which doesnt help much lol

also does anyone know where to get the seals for the injectors and how hard they are to do?
