No boost. It didnt sound right from the start, I could hear the turbo alot more clear when it was working for the short time I had it than previously with the 'old' engine.

Im hoping its just a pipe that hasnt been connected properly then I can get it back A.S.A.P

i would say pipes not done up right so should be a simple fix but you would think they would have driven the thing  :shocked:

I think they have...it was working for the first half hour or so. The trip had been reset and had a few miles on so im sure they have been driving it.

as long as this wasnt the Appprentice's 1st engine build, it should be fine, like has been said, either pipes put on in reverse or pipe missing, and cars gone into "limp home mode".

Will be minor dont worry Edition30

Needs a new boost solenoid (sp?) now whatever that may be...another days wait. There customer service is shocking...never get back to you and they tell you stuff they cant do.
