....

Just posting to subscribe to this thread in case I can be of help - I had a boost leak due to a cracked wastegate. But let's cross that bridge if and when we come to it.

Check out the DV and PCV first.

Robin,

Did JKM take a pic of the cracked wastegate??  Have you just got them to replace that part or have you said sod it bung the K04 on there while the turbo is off?  :drool:

I'm surprised the wastegate has cracked tho. didn't think stage 1 or 2 remap was running it that hard!

....Hi Chungster,

I don't want to hijack this thread by going into detail here. I've written an extensive report on the other GTI forum: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=493.0 - I hope that it's acceptable to post this link to another forum for the purposes of helpful information.

To check the DV on a K03 turbo you'll need to access it from under the car.  Three allen bolts hold it in place.

I'd be 90% sure it's  the diverter valve.  It's proper name is the cut-off valve.  Go to your local dealer and order part number 06f 145 710 g.  Older cars have the 06f 145 710 b.  This was a weakness which suffers with the increase in boost from the remap.  Personally I would get a mechanic to fit it.  Don't starting f**ing around allen keys or you could do more harm than good.  The part itself is about £30 and fitting another £30.  You can get the forge one if you prefer but personally I don't think it is necessary.
