Dv is shot. Get yourself a forge 007p or 008. But before all that get it logged for faults.

He already has a 007p if you read his sig. Maybe needs a rebuild with new piston design. Worth a shot.

Right pissing me off. Car hsd a proper boost check with fancy gaget that forces air through system no leaks. Vcds etc no error codes. Dv dumps normal im getting good mpg etc. Sounds silly can a car loose its map?

Depends on who mapped it.

my mate had a revo (i think) map put on his old car, he unplugged the battery and when he connected it up it had lost all power, he rang up the company who maped it and they said cause hes unplugged his battery he has lost some 'settings' etc and that its just reverted to a basic revo (ro what ever company it was) map. they then re-did the settings as a "good will" gesture, but told him if he lost the 'settings' again he will have to pay for them to be put on.

never heard anyone else having this problem, but it certainly wasnt running as fast as it previously was...

I've heard of this too, wasn't sure if it was an urban myth
