Ive replaced the temp sensor already with a brand new one. took the pic^^ before i changed it. made a big difference.
Just took it for a spin with the top hose off of the N75 and bingo. perfect. was only gentle with it tho but it felt smooth and responsive. got a new one on the way now, picked up a genuine one for £41 new. pretty happy with that. will def post back here with the results once thats fitted.
Any links to an oil catch can would be cool. not looking to spend a fortune on one tho :)

Not fixed yet lol. From what you've just said i'm definitely going to look into that. thanks for your advice :)
After a bit more driving with the N75 hose off im not so sure now. the one on there was definitely not moving though and when i was revving it i couldn't see my actuator moving, it was easy enough to move by hand but didn't see it move when i was revving it at all both with and without the N75??

...and yes its exactly that. when its boosting etc it flies! but at about 2-3 rpm it sputters and with a bit of twitching of the throttle it'll pick up again.

it seems to be just after it starts to boost, its nice and responsive from the off, then splutters a bit. can i post a video on here?

I unplugged ignition amp and sprayed contact cleaner on that worked for abit but it must off over heated as its not ment to get hot worth a try but if i remember rightly was around £80 for a new 1 from euro carparts, that was a couple year back, mine started on the way gti international 2yr ago half way there drove great stopped at maccy d's set of again and was sh!t had it plugged in whilst was at the show no codes come up had drive no boost all way home : ( spluttered and hesitant but then it kicked in then spluttered etc etc

does sound like that, and its one of the bits ive been a bit suspicious of as it was just flapping around. ive cable tied it up out of the way next to the air filter, i did spray contact cleaner on it and in the plugs etc. may go for a rummage at the scrappy for one of them.
